rare footage of arctic unicorns

One of the many things I wanted to be while growing up was a marine biologist. I was fascinated by whales and used to check out all the books on whales at the local library when I was little, studying what I could on my own. And even though much of that knowledge has faded away in the last fifteen years, I've still held a fascination with these giant, graceful creatures.

Because they are giant and incredibly graceful.

So I was extremely happy to see this article on the BBC earlier, and to take a look at one of the species I wasn't able to find a lot of information on: 'Arctic unicorns' in icy display.

And I've even thought of what kind of stories I could craft around marine biologists just to delve back into that research and create the career that maybe could have been. I know it would definitely be fun to imagine it.
