## Caption

Giant whales are moving into previously inaccessible areas of the sea in East Greenland, a decades-long study has found, due to melting ice. 
 
Hundreds of the world's biggest whales including humpbacks, minke and fin whales, have been found feeding along the coast in summer.
 
None of these marine mammals were historically found here as they have been locked out of the coastal waters by ice - but as climate change warms the sea and melts that ice, they have adapted.
 
Scientists describe the result as seasonal Arctic "feeding frenzies" - part of a major regime shift in the ocean environment along East Greenland.
