Description: Føroyskt: Satellit-sendarar vórðu settir á grindahvalir í Vági hin 2. oktober 2012. Tað vóru fólk frá Náttúrugripasavninum (Søvn Landsins), ið komu suður fyri at merkja hvalirnir. Endamálið er at kunna fylgja við í hvussu langt ið teir ferðast og hvagar teir ferðast. English: Satellite tagging of pilot whales in the bay of Vágur in the island Suðuroy in the Faroe Islands. The men who tag the whales came from the Faroese National Heritage, the Náttúrugripasavnið, Søvn Landsins. The purpose is for scientists to be able to follow the migration of the whales in order to get a better picture of where they travel, how far they travel and so on. The whales were driven out on open sea after the tagging. Pilot whales which have been tagged must not be killed. Date: 2 October 2012, 16:01:17. Source: Own work. Author: EileenSanda.
