Gallery 1. South Georgia - the
islands in general and why I was there. Images of MV Oil Mariner at sea and
working on the Navy moorings around Cumberland East Bay and Stromness Bay. | |

Gallery 2. South Georgia - the
whaling stations and images of the man-made legacy. Images taken over a
decade, show the inevitable loss of some buildings, but also the new Museum
and the attempts to save as much of the whaling artifacts and history as
possible, for
posterity. | |

Gallery 3. South Georgia -
Wildlife images. Elephant Seals, Fur Seals, Penguins and Reindeer mainly.
The Reindeer were brought in from Norway to improve the men's diet with
fresh meat. (Also to provide a bit of sport.) Each whaling station did however have it's own
piggery and kept chickens, cows, bullocks and sheep. | |
