Its isolation and extreme conditions mean that search and rescue capability is extremely limited. Dangerous, reckless, or unlawful behaviour jeopardises not only the safety of whaling and protest vessels and their crews but also anyone who comes to their assistance. Incidents during previous whaling seasons clearly demonstrated the dangers involved. We reiterate our call to the masters of al...
