What is the main, or central, idea of the passage?

In September 2015, scientists working off the Alaskan coast made a surprising discovery. At the bottom of the ocean were parts of two whaling ships from the 1800s. Fifty to sixty ships were known to have been lost in that area. The team of scientists also found chains, anchors, and pots for holding whale oil. Interestingly, warmer temperatures may have played a part in the discovery of the whaling ships. The planet's warmer temperatures have caused melting of ocean ice in areas near the pole. Because of warmer weather and less ice, the team could work well into the fall.

• In the 1800s, it was common for whaling ships to become lost off the coast of Africa.

• The warming of the planet caused warmer weather and less sea ice to be present in Alaska.

• The warming of the planet may have made the discovery of lost whaling ships possible.
