"She dived quickly down the edge of the continental shelf to a depth of 580m where the external tag had a temperature reading of 8C. Suddenly, still at 580m deep, the tag's temperature shot up to 26C.
It stayed at that temperature, at varying depths, for about a week until it was released and floated to the surface.
