After having followed a truck from the site of the previous day's grindadráp in Vestmanna, Sea Shepherd crew managed to document the dumping the pilot whale remains, calves and fetuses over a cliff into the sea.
The site of the dumping is just South-East of the small town of Leynar, a dumping site previously uncovered by Sea Shepherd in 2010.

The grind in Vestmanna on August 27th 2019 ended up taking the lives of 98 whales, including young calves and pregnant mothers after a harrowing 5-hour chase. It was the 11th grind of 2019, but the first-ever where Sea Shepherd managed to document the act of dumping the remains of the whales.
