In this documentary, dedicated scientists, equipped with cutting-edge technology follow the sperm whales as they dive to depths of 1,584 metres.

The number of sperm whales that became stranded in the North Sea increased by 1000% in the 1990s.
During this very same period the commercial search for oil in these waters, using seismic sonar technologies, also increased.
Could there be a connection between the two? Until now, these two incidents have never been investigathttps://www.youtube.com/embed/RhcFCONHZvAed.
