Whales have to wait another month
Cargolux and Sealife Trust have set the date for the Beluga whales, Little Grey and Little White, to embark on their epic journey from China to Iceland on 19 June 2019. The initial travel date in April had been cancelled because of the final leg of the complicated journey between the Icelandic mainland and the Island of Heimaey. The temporary delay was due to severe weather conditions and high seas.
Both parties have been working closely with the expert project team to find a suitable date to safely relocate the whales to their new open water sanctuary home on the Island of Heimaey. (ah)
