Two beluga whales living in a Shanghai aquarium will make a journey of more than 9,223-kilometre next year to a new open-water sanctuary in Iceland.
The "groundbreaking marine welfare project", the world's first sanctuary for beluga whales, was unveiled this week by the Sea Life Trust in partnership with Whale and Dolphin Conservation.
