South Georgia
Topic: Antarctica

St Andrews Bay,South Georgia

   In 2006 Mick and I traveled to the Falklands,Sth Georgia, and Antarctica. For me the highlight was South Georgia, a place I had marveled at on the TV but never thought I would get to. Grivitken an old abandoned whaling Station and the great antarctic explorer Shackleton's last resting place, Saint Andrews Bay home to what seems like millions of King penguins, and Stromness Bay start of the Falklands war and place where the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition was rescued after 500 days at sea. This is probally the most spectacular place I have ever been. Click the pic.  007
