Happily, the whaling boats are laid up and rusting,

there is thankfully more money in getting tourists to watch whales in the sea,

rather than persuading tourists to eat them.

There is a mistaken belief that whale meat is a traditional

Icelandic cuisine and hence tourists are tempted to try it.

I did not.

Please visit Iceland and view the remarkable landscape and flora and fauna.

But please do not eat whales.

Go out on a boat and watch them, they will love you for that

and you will have a better day.
