harpoon

McLaren did their first runs on medium tyres in the first session to try to save softs for later but it seems to have harpooned Piastri.

“And when they got close enough to the seal, they would grab their harpoon and get the seal,” said Johnson, an Inupiaq originally from Nome.

Gray whales, once known as “Devil Fish” for their aggressive response to whalers’ harpoons, migrate annually from the cold Alaskan waters of the Pacific down to the lagoons off the coast of Mexico.

North Atlantic right whales’ slow speed, tendency to float when harpooned and thick blubber — used in cosmetics, leather and soap — made them a frequent target for whalers for centuries.

A stone’s throw from a few lounging sea lions, rusting storage tanks, boilers and beached harpoon boats lay testament to Deception Island’s past as a Norwegian whaling station.
