Disko Bay
From the strange volcanic rocks along the hiking trails on Qeqertarsuaq and the island’s summer dog sledding on the Lyngmark Glacier, to the many whales and birds in the bay, Disko bay is waiting for you to fulfill your bucket list!
Listen Live to Underwater Sounds of Disko Bay!
A new hydrophone station in Disko Bay, Greenland, allows listeners to experience the rich underwater soundscape live through https://diskolive.com/sounds-underwater. This initiative is part of the Disko Live! research project, aimed at connecting science with society by studying the sounds of Arctic marine life, icebergs cracking, and ‘modern’ sounds like ships sailing by. Data gathered will be used to communicate findings on climate change and modernisation impacts.
Disko Bay hosts a diverse range of marine species, including iconic bowhead whales, whose songs can currently be heard before they grow more and more silent in May - only to begin singing again in January when they arrive in Disko Bay again.
The project, supported by various organizations, is a collaborative effort involving Qeqertarsuaq town, the Arctic Station, the Natural History Museum of Denmark, Visit Greenland, and Greenland Institute of Natural Resources. For more information, contact Outi Tervo, Senior Researcher, or Visit Greenland's press contact.
