The beluga whale is an awe-inspiring mammal. I will never forget the first time I spotted a beluga in the wild. I was flying in a Coast Guard helicopter approximately 500 ft above sea level when I saw her, a mother beluga with her calf. The contrast of their white bodies against the blue ocean was striking. As I was taking in the beauty of these two whales, the helicopter pilot started calling out more and more belugas. It turns out there were dozens of them just a few kilometres off of Tuktoyaktuk where we were set to land.
Seeing not just one beluga, but dozens, scattered over just a short distance is a sight that is now engrained in my memory. My hope for this website is that it may bring you a greater sense of the beauty that is the beluga whale.
