See hundreds of belugas gathered in the Arctic. Learn more.

Each summer, about 2000 whales pass through a bay on a remote Canadian Arctic island. The traffic lasts for about a month, and it happens nowhere else on Earth.

A couple hundred whales will cluster at a time in the shallows of an estuary, enjoying the warmth from the river water, socializing and shedding skin.

It's a truly unique sight!
