29 Sperm Whales Washed Ashore by Strong Wind-Driven Currents Introduction Whale scientists said, "The animals inadvertently consume plastic and plastic waste, which causes them to suffer and starve with full stomachs." ( link ) They blame the stranding on the garbage floating on the oceans. Think about it! How can a pod of majestic sperm whales using the most advanced biosonar system in the world to locate the squid they eat in the total darkness 5,000 meters below the surface might "inadvertently" identify plastic and ropes and other garbage as food? The truth is that these sperm whales had been suffering biosonar failure ever since they were injured by rapid and excessive pressure changes above the epicenter of an undersea earthquake (aka. seaquake). The injury is barotraumatic in nature and mainly affects the enclosed cranial air spaces. Seaquakes are sudden disturbances in hydrostatic pressure caused by an underwater volcanic explosion o...

NEAR STRANDING NORTHWEST OF ICELAND Whale Dangerous earthquake swarm:  A series of 11 mid-ocean ridge earthquakes in the Greenland Sea induces barosinusitis in a pod of ~200 pilot whales. ( Read how undersea earthquakes cause sinus barotrauma in an entire pod of diving whales. Starting on the night of 13 July and continuing until 18 July 2012, eleven volcanic-tectonic earthquakes struck along the riff valley of the mid-ocean ridge system 56 km (34 miles) NNW of Jan Mayen Island in the Greenland Sea.   http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/earthquake.php?id=278610 http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/earthquake.php?id=278611 http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/earthquake.php?id=278612 http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/earthquake.php?id=278613 http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/earthquake.php?id=278614 http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/earthquake.php?id=278615 http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/earthquake.php?id=278616 http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/ea...
