The Icelandic Coast Guard has detained 21 crew members from the whaling vessel Bandero after a midnight boarding in Icelandic waters. The Bandero reportedly ignored orders to leave and to halt engines, and police will seek deportation and a ban on re-entry for the crew. The Bandero arrived in Reykjavik as Iceland’s stance on whaling remains contentious.
