The moratorium imposed in June, on animal welfare grounds, ends on Thursday.
Reykjavík said it will resume hunting fin whales with new guidelines aimed at killing them as quickly as possible to reduce suffering.
The International Whaling Commission – a global body that oversees whale conservation – imposed a moratorium in 1986 after some species came close to extinction. Whalers cut open a 35-tonne Fin whale, one of two fin whales caught aboard a Hvalur boat off the coast of Hvalfjsrour Reykjavík suspended commercial whaling in June after a government-commissioned report said that it took too long for whales to die after they were harpooned, sometimes hours, in breach of its law on animal welfare.
