While personnel from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) were flying over the Alaskan coast for the agency’s annual survey of arctic marine mammals, they spotted something they weren’t expecting. On a patch of beach in northwest Alaska, around 35,000 walruses were basking in the sun. They weren’t supposed to be there—walruses typically rest on sea ice in between diving for prey. But as summer sea ice has receded in recent years as the climate warms, the Pacific walruses couldn’t find any.

The photograph of the walrus gathering, taken Saturday by NOAA researchers, is the latest in a series of similar phenomena from wildlife affected by loss of summer sea ice. The ice’s annual low point this year was the sixth smallest since researchers began monitoring it by satellite in 1979, the Associated Press reported.
