Bowhead and white whales in the southern Beaufort Sea / Mark A. Fraker, F. F. Slaney & Company Limited, Environmental Resource Consultants, David E. Sergeant and Wyb Hoek, Arctic Biological Station, Fisheries...En3-6/4E-PDF

"White whales migrate annually from their wintering area in the Bering Sea to the southeast Beaufort Sea and Amundsen Gulf, in May and June. They probably travel in the far offshore series of leads between Point Barrow, Alaska, and Banks Island. A local westward movement to the Mackenzie estuary takes place in late June and early July using the nearshore lead along the landfast ice. Probably the majority of white whales in the southeast Beaufort Sea congregate in the Mackenzie estuary from late June to early August"--Summary.
