Beluga Whales have been welcomed to a new whale sanctuary in the waters off Heimaey.
The aims of our sanctuary are:
- To provide a more natural life for the belugas in our care
- To advance knowledge through research and education
- To support protection of belugas in the wild
By leading the way and demonstrating an alternative way of caring for these beautiful animals we want to encourage others to consider sanctuaries as a viable alternative. This change could potentially transform the lives of not only beluga whales but over 3,000 other whales and dolphins currently housed in traditional captive facilities or performing in shows around the world.
