Two bowhead whales in Greenland 's Qeqertarsuaq Tunua , a large bay on Greenland ’s west coast , began to synchronize their dives.
Researchers had never scientifically documented this behavior before.
Some scientists believe they travel in diffuse herds, communicating over hundreds of kilometers .
Low-frequency sound waves travel very slowly through cold water.
Sound waves could take over an hour to reach another whale, so it would be hard for scientists to observe the creatures exchanging calls.
What the two whales were saying to each other, however, remains a mystery.
Messages transmitted over such distance would likely need to be simple.
