Where it stands
The East Greenland coast is experiencing an unprecedented influx of giant whales, drawn by the sudden abundance of food in the warming waters. The melting of sea ice is the primary driver behind this shift. As the Arctic warms, ice retreats, allowing sunlight to penetrate the ocean and stimulate phytoplankton growth.
This, in turn, attracts vast schools of fish, which draw the whales. The phenomenon is well-documented. A study published by A News details the 'feeding frenzies' observed off East Greenland.
The BBC and Наша Ніва have also confirmed the presence of these whales in the region. The BBC Wildlife Magazine describes the spectacle of these events. The open question is how this shift will affect local ecosystems and human activities in the long term.

Answered
What types of whales are moving into Greenland waters?
Coverage does not yet specify the exact species of whales involved.
How does the melting of sea ice affect whale populations?
The melting of sea ice allows for increased phytoplankton growth, which attracts fish and, consequently, whales.
What are the potential impacts of this shift on local ecosystems?
The long-term effects on local ecosystems are not yet clear. The influx of whales could alter food chains and interactions among marine species.
