The serendipitous part of this article is the mention of Collin Stetson in the music section. I met Collin when he was living in NYC around the early 00's, bar tending at a place in Williamsburg I frequented. Really nice guy who introduced me to interesting music like Mr Bungle, a band Mike Patton of Faith No More started before FNM (And I knew FNM.) I saw Collin perform at a small venue once too. Very impressive how he played the giant contrabass sax. I'm happy to see Collin built a musical career and earned a Wikipedia page.

Sounds like (hah) this is a job for cheap sea drones. Spread them out and have them listen and triangulate the location, and then go there with a human team.

The loneliness aspect of the whale tugs at my heartstrings. I know I am most likely romanticizing and anthropomorphizing nature, but still.
