Whaling: Indonesia (157 images)
Subsidence whaling in Lamalera, Indonesia. In an Indonesian coastal village, boatbuilders and whalers follow ancient rules.
Their boats are sacred and, they believe, immortal. Their prey is gigantic and dangerous. They are the sea hunters of Lamalera, an isolated village on the tiny Indonesian island of Lembata, 1,200 miles due east of Jakarta.
