Well, just because one person says it'll cost 1.5 million to recover it, then I don't think that figure should be carved in stone. Or did he say that he'll charge someone 1.5 million to recover it?

Raising it a few hundred feet onto a barge might be a little easier than conducting an airlift operation out of Greenland. Difficult, nonetheless, but worth it for such a beautiful bird.
