South Georgia is the crown jewel of the Southern Ocean. It is an exciting, remote, and pristine island that teems with birth, life, and death. It is a place where life begins and ends in its rawest form. It's vaulting, snow-capped peaks are of majestic beauty. It is a place where, for over a hundred years, man slaughtered huge numbers of marine mammals - bringing them close to extinction. South Georgia is not just a place. It is a congruence of unspeakable beauty with the rawest of life energy.
