Grytviken

This is a "town" in South Georgia (pop. 30) that is really a museum for preserved whaling vessels and a whaling processing plant from 100 years ago. The Brits maintain a Royal Mail post office from which Debb mailed a post card.

The harbor is also full of more elephant seals, king penguins and fur seals, and we could walk right up to them all. I can't resist including some of the cutest. Enjoy!

An elephant seal. A ton of blubber. In fact they call them blubber slugs. The name fits.

This fur seal pup was sleeping on whale bones.

Nothing is more regal than a king penguin!
