'ICEMAN' WRESTLES SHARK

 

An Icelandic fishing captain, known as "the Iceman", wrestled and killed a 300kg shark to stop it attacking his crew, according to witnesses.

 

Captain Sigurdur Petursson was on a beach in Kuummiit, east Greenland, watching his crew processing a catch when he saw the shark swimming towards his men.

 

 

The skipper of the trawler Erik the Red, ran into the shallow water and grabbed the shark by its tail with his bare hands.

 

He dragged it off to dry land and killed it with his knife.

 

Frede Kilime, a hunter and fisherman who witnessesed the extraordinary spectacle, said: "He caught it just with his hands. There was a lot of blood in the sea and the shark came in and he thought it was dangerous."

 

Icelandic author and journalist Reynir Traustason, who knows the trawler captain, said the act was typical of the man.

 

"He's called 'the Iceman' because he isn't scared of anything," he said.

 

"I know the people in that part of the world. They are really tough."

 

Imagine having that guy for a father? You'd damn near have to lose a limb before you could think of crying during your youth

Tough as nails. I like this guy already. Someday, I hope to wrestle a bear, but a shark would definitely be interesting.

Hey, I'd hate to be Mr. Boring and go on an anthropological tangent away from hot Scandinavian chicks, but was Iceland inhabited by any aboriginal people before the Vikings settled? I know Japan had the Ainu (white people getting subjugated, crazy stuff) and Spain had the Basques, so I was wondering if anyone was there before the Vikings. I do know that Icelandic, because of its isolation from other languages, is linguistically the closest to the old Norse of the Scandinavian languages (Icelandic, Danish, Swedish, Faeroese, and Not Exactly Norwegian Because It Has Its Own Name Which Escapes Me), and I believe still carries on the -sen suffix as the formation of last names whereas everyone else just carries the whole name over.
