reykjavik - Iceland has granted permits to two ships to hunt whales for another five years. The permits allow for the capture of 209 common minke whales and 217 fin whales per year.

Iceland has granted permits to two ships to continue hunting whales for another five years. The permits allow for the capture of 209 common minke whales and 217 fin whales per year. Along with Norway and Japan, Iceland is one of the last three countries in the world that allow whale hunting. The whale hunting season is between mid-June and September. Iceland only has one active whaling vessel, Hvalur, which was permitted to capture 209 fin whales in 2023 but only caught 24 during the three-week season. The other ship, Tjaldtangi ehf., specializes in minke whales but has not been in operation since the summer of 2018 due to lack of profitability.

The Icelandic government is in a caretaker status following their resignation after Saturday's election defeat.
