After being captured from the while and performing for years in a Shanghai aquarium, two 12-year-old beluga whales named Little Grey and Little White will be flown to a whale sanctuary in Iceland where they will be able to live out the remainder of their lives. Their new sanctuary is roughly 6,000 miles from Shanghai, in Klettsvik Bay, on the Icelandic island of Heimaey and is the world’s first open water beluga sanctuary. As the BBC reported, if they thrive they could live to between 40 and 60 years old and the sanctuary could become home to other belugas as well.
