Iceland is a stunning, pristine land that attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists each year, many of them to go whale watching in the clear arctic waters. Greenpeace has launched a "Whale tourism pledge" -- a promise to visit Iceland if the government stops whaling.
With every tourist worth an average of US$ 1,169 to the Icelandic economy, the tens of thousands of pledges to date represent more than 100 million USD in potential tourist revenue for Iceland -- against a commercial whaling programme which was worth less than 4 million USD per annum in its prime in the 1980s, and is today effectively worthless.
Help convince Iceland that whales are worth more alive than dead: take the pledge and send the message below.
