Commercial whaling is prohibited south of 60 degrees S, which covers the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. This means that there is no commercial whaling in Antarctica.
Whaling is banned by the Antarctic Treaty, south of 60 degrees S. This includes the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica.
Not all whaling is Japanese whaling. They get the most fame because they kill many whale (almost 1000 in the southern ocean every year, along with hundreds off their coast). Norway, Iceland, and some aboriginal tribes also kill whales, but not as many as Japan.
The Japanese government has allowed their whaling boats to carry weapons and use them if necessary.
The simple definition of whaling is "The practice or industry of hunting and killing whales for their oil, meat, or whalebone." Whaling is similar to fishing but instead of nets used to catch them or kill them, harpoons and ropes is used to kill and carry the dead carcass. For Japanese whaling, when A whale is killed, it is transported onto the factory ship where it is processed , stored and chill until it gets send to Japan.

America is against whaling. They almost put whales out of the ocean for good when they did do whaling. They wanted their blubber for oil.
Whaling has been an activity for thousands of years, archealogical discoveries in South Korea suggest evidence of whaling occuring as early as 6000 BC. Commercial whaling is widely though to have begun in the late 1800s and early 1900s with the invention of various whaling devices such as the flexible harpoon and steam winches.
Chicago Whales ended in 1915.
