What seemed like a legend of the seas, has now become the subject of a search by the Canadian military. Nearby Nunavut (Canada), for several months we are told of a mysterious sound that seems to date from the bottom of the sea: the first victims are the fishermen, who accuse the phenomenon of keep away the marine fauna, their primary source of livelihood.
The sounds seem to come from the seabed near the Fury and Hecla Strait (between Baffin Island and the Melville Peninsula), close to Nunavut, the Inuit community of about 31,000 people on an area of 1,750. 000 km square (almost 6 times Italy), one of the areas most northerly permanently inhabited planet.
In the sea that is the hunting ground of this population live seals and whales, and according to the locals, this is a privileged area, a polinia, ie an offshore zone surrounded by ice, where many marine species are concentrated during the winter.
PLOTS. This year, however, it seems that animals stentino to arrive, and the blame goes to the sounds that spread from the seabed.
Already this summer marine population was far below than is normally present and, as often happens, the inexplicable results in the inevitable phantasmagoria of theories.
Some argue that the cause is the iron mining activities on Baffin Island, north-east and Nunavut: it is said that the mining company is making inquiries with sonar on the seabed. But Baffiland, the mining company, denied that at the time are being underwater research.
Others blame Greenpeace: it is said that the sounds are produced specifically to scare away the animals, to save them from the Inuit hunt. Greenpeace denies the charges.
Still others pull at stake the United States Navy, which would use low-frequency sonar to detect submarines "enemies." The Marina, simply ignores the allegations.
CREATURES ... are not miners, is not Greenpeace and even the US Navy - could still be a mysterious sea creature that is awakening into the abyss? The investigating Canadian military.
