Whaling windlass standing unused on the coast. This was formerly used to drag killed whales ashore, but it is now hardly ever used. Overfishing of whales in the 20th century depleted their numbers to such an extent that strict quotas had to be enforced. The native Inuit population is permitted to kill a sustainable number of whales each year, but the industry has dwindled significantly. Filmed in Disko Bay, Greenland.
