"WHALE HUNTING IN LAMALERA"


9 of 12

A woman looks crazed with happiness after she takes her share of the oil from the head of the whale, in Lamalera, Indonesia. Inhabitants of the tiny village of Lamalera in Indonesia still hunt sperm whales using traditional methods. They have no motorboats, harpoons or ropes but still manage to bring home a 23m whale which provides food and materials for the whole village.
