Section-A(Reading)
Rad the passage given below carefully.
In jeff MacInnis' words... Our third season. We weave our way through the
labyrinth ice and in the distance we hear an unmistakable sound. A mightry bewhead
whale is nearby and its rhythmic breats fill us with Finally, we see it relaxed on the
surface, its blowhole quivering like avolcanic cane, but it senses our presence and
quickly sound. We are very disappointed. We had only good intentions - to revel in
its beautiful immensity and to feel its power. After all, we are members of the species
that had almost sent the bewhead into extinction with our greed for whale oil and
bone. It is estimated that as many as 38000 bowheads were killed off eastern Baffin
Island in the 1800s; todya there are about 200 left.
The fascinating and sometimes terrifying wildlife keeps us entertained during our
explorations. Beareded harp and ring seals greet us daily. The profusion of bird life
is awesome; at times we see and smell hundreds of thousands of thick-billed murres
clinging to their cliffside nests. Our charts show we are on the edge of a huge shoal
where the frigid ocean currents upswell and mix nutrients that provide a feast for
the food chain. At times these animals scare the living daylights out of us. They
have a knack of sneaking up behind us and then shooting out of the water and belly
flopping for maximum noise and splash. A herrendus splash coming from behind
has a heart-stopping effect in polar bear country.
We have many encounters with the “lords of the Arctic", but we are always
cautious, observant and ever so respectful that we are in their domain. In some
regions, the land is totally devoid of life, while in others the pulse of life takes our
breath away, such is the paradox of the Arctic; it's wastelands flow into oasis, that
are found nowhere else on the face of the earth.many times we find ancient signs of
Inuit people who lived here, superbly attuned to the land. We feel great respect for
them; this landscape is a challenge at every moment,
We face a 35 mile open water passage across Prince Regent Inlet on Baffin island
that will take us to our ultimate goal- Pond Inlet on baffin bay, the breakers look
huge from the water's edge. Leaning into the hulls like bobsledders at the startin​
