Hvaldimir was a male beluga whale that fishermen near Hammerfest in northern Norway noticed in April 2019 allegedly wearing a camera harness. After being freed from the harness, the whale remained in the area and appeared used to humans.

As of 2023, Hvaldimir's range appeared to have expanded to include area
