    Hiking

    In the whale watch towers, men sat in the woods and kept their eyes peeled for sperm whales in the waters around the Azores. When they spotted one, they fired a missile so the local whalers could see that a sperm whale is in the local waters. They then left everything and left. after whaling. Such a watchtower can be seen here.
