”The Whale”, Andenes, Andøya Island, Norway,

The Whale is designed as a world-class attraction that, through science and art, pays homage to the whales and their ties to man.

Just a few sea miles from shore lies the deep-sea valley, Bleiksdjupa, where migrating whales pass by. This pit-stop has made Andenes one of the best places in the world to spot whales and is the reason the attraction will be built there; on the edge of this magnificent underwater world.
