Discover the Extraordinary World of the Narwhal
In this newly revised, 504-page companion book to the Smithsonian traveling exhibition Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend.
Edited by Martin T. Nweeia and William W. Fitzhugh, this definitive volume brings together scientific discovery, cultural knowledge, history, and remarkable imagery to illuminate one of the Arctic’s most legendary—and least understood—animals.
With an introduction by renowned oceanographer and National Geographic Explorer at Large Dr. Sylvia A. Earle.
An Award-Winning Exploration of an Arctic Icon
The first edition of Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend received the William Mills Prize for Non-Fiction Polar Books.
The revised second edition offers readers an authoritative and visually compelling exploration of the narwhal—from the mysteries of its extraordinary tusk to its place in Arctic ecosystems and cultures.
Praise for Narwhal
“The work carried out for more than two decades by Dr. Martin Nweeia, most notably his pioneering research on the extraordinary tusk of the narwhal, has profoundly deepened our understanding of this legendary species, often referred to as the ‘unicorn of the sea.’”
— H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco
“The narwhal’s integral part in the great chain of being that is our interdependent ecosystem is the subject of this important work, and an inspiration to all who care about the environment.”
— Meryl Streep
