Sea turns blood red as entire village including young children round up and slaughter 180 whales in preparation for the harsh winter months on the remote Faroe Islands

Hunting season: Dozens of villagers on Vágar, Faroe Islands, gather to help out in the hunting and butchering of a pod of some 180 whales 
Whale driving on the Faroe Islands date back to the late 16th century and involve residents herding pods of whales into shallow waters.
They are then killed using a 'spinal lance' that is inserted through the animal's neck to break its spinal cord. 
Learning early: Both adults and children take part in the slaughtering of the whale pod in village of Sandavágur on Vágar
