South Georgia

I mentioned South Georgia, and in particular the two fab webcams the other day... As well as penguin-watching, it is interesting to see how the view changes throughout the year.

Not many penguins about yet today, but plenty of seals - and a ship!

Looking a bit more carefully at the South Georgia website though, I've just discovered a set of Visitor Management Plans - these have routes for visitors to follow, give warnings for visitors about potential dangers, outline the known impacts of visitors on the flora and fauna, and describe the code of conduct for visitors. Click here to access the plans (links on the left-hand-side). Have a look at the Information for Visitors as well...

And just as I was typing that....

Don't know where they were going or what they were doing... They didn't hang around long!

South Georgia

Not directly related to what we are doing at the moment, but the South Georgia webcam is well worth a visit...

South Georgia is an island in the South Atlantic, about 1400 km east of the Falkland Islands.

As South Georgia is in the Southern Hemisphere, summer is approaching, and it will not be long before the return of the penguins! At the moment, there is a seal on the beach....

Who will spot the first penguins?!
