Seaquake Causes 6 Killer Whales to Beach in Iceland

Image
APRIL 30, 2013:   Six killer whales with seaquake-impaired biosonar were washed ashore in the early morning hours of April 30 just east of the village of Heiðarhöfn on the northern coast of Iceland's Langanes Peninsular. Two were dead by the time rescuers arrived. Two others were supposedly pushed back out to sea. These killer whales were likely from the local fish-eating group that feed primarily on herring and other schooling fish found in abundance off  the coast of Northern Iceland near Grimsey and Flatey Islands, and the Bay at Husivik  Killer whale pods are often spotted in these areas. Undersea earthquakes are also known to occur, especially near Grimsey Island.  This is exactly what happened eight times on 02 April, 27 days before the mass stranding. The seismic activity started with an extremely shallow 5.2 magnitude quake followed by 7 aftershocks: 2013-04-02   00:59:14.0   66.47N; 17.80W    2km deep;  5.2 mag. 2013-04-02   01:13:23.0   66.28N; 17.72W 

Beached Pilot Whales Force Europe to Stop War Games

April 25, 2013:    EUROPE’S largest military exercise was forced to cancel yesterday after three whales stranded on an Easter Ross beach in Scotland. War games that had been due to take place near Portmahomack (Dornoch Firth) as part of Exercise Joint Warrior were halted to avoid distressing the pilot whales, which had stranded overnight. Fears were raised that the exercise may have been to blame for the beaching.  However, according to the Seaquake Hypothesis advance by the Deafwhale Society, Inc. , these 3 whales, and likely more, were injured a month earlier by two undersea earthquakes that ripped apart the seabed about 2,500 km upstream from the stranding beach.  The quakes occurred along the undersea volcanic mountain range known as the Reykjanes Ridge, 1162 km southwest of Reykjavik, Iceland.  The area is a well-known habitat for long-fin pilot whales.
