Often called the unicorn of the sea, the narwhal is one of Earth's most extraordinary and least understood marine mammals. With its spiraled tusk, deep-diving abilities, and life beneath Arctic ice, the narwhal has fascinated scientists, Indigenous cultures, and nature lovers for centuries.
This comprehensive and beautifully structured book takes you on an in-depth journey through the life, science, culture, and future of the narwhal, revealing how this iconic species survives in one of the planet's harshest environments, and why its survival now depends on human action.
