Our trip was, obviously, dominated by wildlife and landscape photography but some of my favourite images were taken in the derelict whaling station at Grytviken in South Georgia. The station was in operation between 1904 and 1966 and, at its peak, employed around 300 workers during the South Georgia summer months. Today it is preserved as a historic landmark and the South Georgia Museum now occupies what used to be the manager’s house. The church was built in 1913 after being shipped in as a prefab built in Norway. Apparently the workers were more interested in working than worshiping and service attendance was disappointing.
For the technically inclined...
