A Catholic nun watches on as workers bid to drag the carcass of a stricken whale onto the shore for dissection after a catch.

A happy fisherman walks away with a large chunk of blubber which has been freshly cut from the body of a whale.

Several whale skins are hung up to dry on a bamboo drying rack after they have been cut from the flesh of the dead whales.

The start of the whale hunting season is ushered in with a religious ceremony known as the Leva (Ocean) Season Opening Ceremony.

'We Lamalerans believe the whales are a gift from our ancestors and god.

The Indonesian government officially allows us to carry on with the traditional whaling so we can maintain our livelihood.


After the whale is brought ashore it is carved up and divided among the crew according to the captain of the boat's instructions.

A villager plunges a sharp knife into the flesh of the sperm whale as the long and drawn-out process of dividing it up takes place.

Two boys sit on top of a whale fin while a team of villagers work to carve up the body of the dead beast just meters away.

The successful fishermen take two full days to carve up the carcas of the dead whale after they painstakingly haul it to shore.

The pictures, show a hunt on the islet of Lembata in the remote Indonesian province of Nusa Tenggara Timur, where the villagers are said to have been spearing sperm whales by hand for at least six centuries.

Hunters can be seen brandishing spears and diving into the water to catch and kill the whales as dozens of others haul them ashore.

The fishermen use huge wooden spears to impale the giant whales.

After they are killed, the crew members carve them up by the water's edge in a bloody ceremony.
