The picture above( warning for sensetive people) is Quite the common happenings in Northern Norway. Whales die an natural death and washed ashore, proving acces to ivory do not necceserly involve whaling. Quite the easy acess to Ivory. Shuld be a resource found along the Atlantic at surten places and apparently also the medeterainian.

From eskimoes hunting whales:
