(FILES) This file picture shows a harpoon with an explosive head, used to hunt whales, on April 21, 2009 in a cabin room of a whaling boat, recently restored after being unused for the last 20 years, before the next campaign of whales fishing starting in June, in the harbour of Reykjavik. Whale fishing has been allowed in 2006 in Iceland after 20 years of prohibition. Plans to resume the hunting of humpback whales, protected by a moratorium introduced more than 40 years ago, might come under fire from environmentalists ahead of a key meeting due to be held on June 22, 2009. The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society (WDCS) said Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory, intends to ask a summit to grant it permission to hunt a quota of 50 humpbacks over five years.
