whale hunts in Faroe islands - when and where does in take place next time?
Hi,
can anybody tell me when will the next whale hunt take place in Fareoe islands? From what I have read, it happens just offshore and is pretty much public event...

Can anybody help with exact dates/location?
My question is purely work related and I do not have any personal interest in witnessing it.
Thanks!

There are no set times and no set places. It depends on the whales...
Every now and again a school of pilot whales will find its way to the waters around the islands. If/when they get spotted people will get in their boats to round them up and drive them towards the nearest shore.
So - it could be any time, any place.
