Another reasonably calm day on South Georgia. Visited St Andrew's bay on the east side of the Island this morning with the biggest colony of King penguins on the island, 150,000 nesting pairs ---  300,000 penguins, not counting the juveniles. That's a lot of penguins! There were female elephant seals and fur seal's on the beach as well. Visited Grytviken in the afternoon, an old whaling station that ceased operations in the 1960's. Unlike the other old whaling stations on South Georgia, you can visit this one as all the wind-blown corrugated iron and asbestos has been removed.  There is a small museum, run by the South Georgia Heritage Trust, and a scientific base, run by the British Antarctic Survey. Lots of old rusty whaling station gear, of industrial archeological interest, as well as Shackleton's grave. The 9th of January is the anniversary of the day that Shackleton, with Scott, reached 88 degrees south in 1902 (the farthest south penetrated at the time). We drank a whisky as a toast to Shackleton at the grave. But today's post is a King Penguin from the huge colony at St Andrew's bay. King penguins have to be the most beautiful birds I have ever seen.
