South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands King Edward Point, South Georgia

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
King Edward Point is the administrative center of South Georgia and hosts a small permanent population of government officials and scientists. It lies just across the bay from Grytviken and serves as an important hub for research, fisheries management, and conservation in the region.

Today, it also supports visiting expeditions and vessels, offering one of the few active human presences in this otherwise remote and wild part of the Southern Ocean.

Photography Tips

Use the hole or different other objects from the ship in your foreground to give the picture a bit more dynamic than just a shot of the abandoned whaling station.

Travel Information
