Open ship

Reykjavik was grey and rainy this morning - we didnt expect a lot of visitors to come for the open ship. Luckily the weather improved, and there was a steady stream of interested people on deck. We take turns in showing our guests around, and try to answer questions about all sorts of things.
It is important to show the Icelanders that we work in many fields, not only on the whaling issue. On helicopter deck you find screens with pictures and information about all our campaigns. To meet and discuss environmental issues face-to-face is refreshing.
Many visitors have their special fields of interest: a mechanic might want to see the engine room, a cook is interested in the galley and the kids might want to check out the crayons in the mess room.
