Harpooning whales is what the Eskimos in Alaska find to be part of their culture and tradition while other people find this behavior to be viscous and cruel. Bowhead Whales have been hunted and harpooned for thousand of years and under regulation, the Eskimo villages in Alaska are still allowed to perform these rituals.
Whaling weapons have been studied over the years and an improvement program has been set up to increase safety, reliability, humaneness and effectiveness of this Eskimo culture. With the harpoon still sticking out of the back of the Bowhead Whale, it lays still amongst the frozen surface of the sea.
