At least nine fin whales have been discovered floating dead in waters from Kodiak to Unimak Pass since late May. 'It is an unusual and mysterious event that appears to have happened around Memorial Day weekend,' said a marine mammal specialist. 'We rarely see more than one fin whale carcass every couple of years.'
