"Last of the Viking Whalers"

Eilert and Raymond Nilsen on board the boat the Nordfangst. They are hunting whale in the Vestfjorden in Northern Norway. Each hunt can last for several hours and the whale tries to avoid the boat. The hunters need glass like seas to spot and follow the whale. It dives for up to 20 minutes at a time and can resurface thousands of meters away from where is was last seen.
