The 2019 season will be the first time since 2002 that no whales will be harpooned in Iceland's waters, after the country decided to resume whaling in 2003

After considering whaling with only one boat in late June or early July, IP-Utgerd, which specialises in hunting minke whales, has announced it would abandon the summer season altogether.

Iceland's only other whaling company Hvalur, which hunts larger fin whales, announced in early June that it was giving up on the 2019 season due to a lack of time to prepare its fleet.
