Whales in Iceland

Whales are best viewed alive – except when the bones are from the 7th century.
Whale skeleton of a large whale was found 20 metres above sea level on the north coast of Iceland. The bones were used in a whale-bone dwelling, with ribs supporting the walls and jawbones forming a doorway.
