A Tale of a Whale - Hvaldimir's Journey in Norway

We are honored to share with all of you our historical documentary about Hvaldimir!

We have been developing this project during the past two years that we have been monitoring Hvaldimir. Through our efforts to document his body condition and behavior, we have ended up with many videos, photos, and stories to share of this special whale as he continues to adapt to life in the wild.

In an effort to further assist with his care and protection, I decided to use these images to create an educational message for all of those who have the unique opportunity to encounter Hvaldimir in the waters of Norway and for those who simply wish to follow his journey.

International experts share their knowledge and opinions about this case to seek to better understand his remarkable story.
