The Iceberg Arctic Pavilion’s most time-consuming attraction is likely the ‘Beluga Love’ performance. Before the show, you will hear some scientific explanations about beluga whales, and if you listen carefully, you can learn a lot about these creatures. The audience for the show is growing, and the tiered walkways and giant glass panels are filling up with people. I found a spot at a medium height to wait for the performance to begin. With the performers (beluga whales and actors) in place, one can see the human and beluga whale dancing together in the water with grace, showing off beautiful dance moves. The beluga whale will use its head to push the actor’s feet to accelerate, and it will also bend its body to pose elegantly with the performer. Watching such a performance, one can’t help but think about the countless days and nights of communication required to achieve such harmony, which is truly remarkable.
**Entertainment**
Near noon, I happened to catch a walrus show at the Walrus Theater. Glancing around at the audience, it seemed not very full, perhaps because many visitors did not calculate their time so precisely.
The Walrus Theater is located in the Polar Town theme area, featuring a Broadway-style stage. The interior stage is adorned with several tall stools connected together, resembling a series of train carriages. The main performers are a walrus weighing over a thousand pounds and three agile sea lions, along with the dedicated conservationists who work in harmony with them. Following the instructions of the conservationists, both the walrus and sea lions display comical body language, clapping, acting cute and petulant, performing sit-ups, and even one-handed handstands, making them seem like all-round performers. The entire performance lasts approximately twenty minutes, concluding with an interactive experience that allows visitors to participate. To increase your chances of being part of this experience, it is recommended to sit closer to the front and respond actively.
