Important info for researchers [-]
This sequence is the original 2002 footage of Common Eider Ducks diving under the sea ice in an arctic polynya.

This location was 11.3 m deep over extensive mussel beds. This sequence is referenced in several published articles and books and represents a different ecological scenario than the 2009 compilation.
