Documenting Iceland

Whale station in Hvalfjörður Iceland │ Whale Cutting

by: Rafn Sig,-

Whaling in Iceland began with spear-drift whaling which was practiced from as early as the 12th century and continued in a relic form until the late 19th century. The relationship with whales is reflected in the Icelandic language: hvalreki is the word for “beached whale”, while also meaning something good that is unexpectedly yours or at your disposal. However, modern commercial whaling was introduced to Iceland by companies from other nations in the late 19th century. Today, Iceland is involved in commercial whaling under objection to an ongoing moratorium established by the International Whaling Commission in 1986

    I had this website bookmarked a while previously but my notebook crashed. I have since gotten a new one and it took me a while to find this! I also in fact like the theme though.

    This is some good stuff. It took me some time to locate this blog but it was worth the time. I noticed this website was buried in google and not the first spot. This internet site has a lot of good photos and other stuff and it doesnt deserve to be burried in the searches like that. By the way Im going to save this site to my favorites.
