    Greenland sharks normally range in depths of 0-3,937 feet (0 to 1,200 m) and temperatures of 34-68°F (1 to 12°C). In the north, the shark migrates near shore in search of warmer waters.

    Some of them are reported to be seen in St Lawrence River ( Baie-Comeau, about 350 kilometers northeast of Quebec )

    A few (!) sightings of Greenland shark in the Southern Atlantic near Argentina and in Antarctic waters are reported too.
