"Actually, migrating whales are increasingly using the route through the Bering Strait because of less ice there and more number of ships use the same route. This has increased the risk of collision between ships and migrating whales.

It was reported by Discovery News that a research team has recorded more and more whales migrating through the Bering Strait between 2009 and 2012 as Arctic ice melts. Some whales that usually reside further south have begun using the Strait in more numbers."
