High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Iceland has a long tradition of subsistence whaling; spear-drift whaling was practised from the 12th century or earlier and continued in a relic form until the late 19th century. The early reliance on whales is reflected in the Icelandic language: hvalreki is the word for both "beached whale" and "jackpot". Modern whaling in Iceland began in 1883, although spear-drift whaling had been practiced from the 12th century or earlier. By 1915, 17,000 whales had been taken from Icelandic waters, mostly due to excessive whaling by Norwegian fishermen. The Icelandic Government banned whaling in its waters to allow time for population recovery, but the law was repealed in 1928.
