CLOSE TO HER WORK—Wearing fisherman?s cold-water gear, Darlene Ketten (left) stands in the mouth of a stranded humpback whale towed ashore on a Newfoundland beach in 1998. Working as quickly as possible, she and Jon Lien of St. John?s University, Newfoundland, remove biopsy samples and the inner ears to determine if it was injured by nearby explosions for a construction project.
