It was the news a whole lot people were waiting for. The International Court of Justice ruled Japan must immediately stop its whaling program in the Antarctic.

The Sea Shepherd ships have been in the Southern Ocean for 9 years trying to save the whales from the Japanese "research vessels", so I got their founder, Captain Paul Watson on a dodgy Skype line to give us their reaction.

The Norwegian voyages to Antarctica led by Nils Larsen, a sea captain, are his most well-known accomplishments. When Larsen graduated from the University of Oslo with a master's degree, he worked for a shipping firm before becoming a well-known whaler. Nils Larsen was also a first mate in Norvegia's Antarctic missions, where he served as a ship's first officer. Norway finally gained control of Bouvet Island and Peter I Island as a result of this scientific trip. As the first person to set foot on the island, Larsen made history.
