Delphinapterus leucas (Beluga) - English
URL: http://www.cetacea.org/beluga.htm

The Beluga occurs seasonally in ice-free Arctic seas, concentrating in curcumpolar areas. They are one of the few toothed whales that follow a rigid migration pattern, waiting for the sea ice to break up in July before occupying their summer grounds. In winter they are forced to retreat to ice-free seas as the ice re-forms.
