In 2013, five young sperm whales entered the shallow waters between Streymoy and Eysturoy. Two of the whales perished, and it was decided that one of the whales should be dissected and its skeleton preserved.

This video documents the beginning of the dissection process and shows the inherent dangers of working with whale carcasses.
