Did You Know?

Can you imagine swimming through icy waters where your path is blocked by thick sheets of ice? Narwhals must do this every year in the Arctic as they search for new feeding grounds. They travel through narrow cracks in the ice, risking being trapped if the sea freezes too quickly. Their long journey is dangerous, but it’s the only way they can find the fish and squid they need to survive.
