Large walrus herd resting on Alaskan shore

Sounds from a large herd of walruses resting on Alaskan shores of the Chukchi Sea recorded. Deep full barks and calls of individual walruses near the edge of the herd are audible over a continuous rhythmic humming sound that arises from the calls of tens of thousands of walrsues from deeper within the herd.
