Some people say "Hvaldimir" is trained by the Russian navy and other that he is actually a therapy whale. No matter who he was in his former life, he is now quickly becoming a big hit with both visitors and locals in Hammerfest. Please note that the local authorities have asked that people do not try to pet him or feed him. | MS Trollfjord | Facebook
