South Georgia - Part II

As we return to
SOUTH GEORGIA
 Another Day - Another Iceburg
 WHALE OIL STORAGE TANKS
 NORTHERN GIANT PETREL
 not to be confussed with Southern, but how do you tell the differance??
 NORWEGIAN LUTHIAN CHURCH
also not surprisingly known as
The 'Whalers' Church
(High Priestess Bob Marley)
ANTARCTIC FUR SEAL
 Remnants of Whales
and another Seal of the same persuassion.
and their destruction all over the place
Blubber Boilers
Another poinant part of this journey for me at least
 was to pay respects to the above
Proudly wearing my own
Submarine Insignia
(colloqually known as the Kissing Kippers)
 I was honoured to salute a fellow
SUBMARINER
regardless of his station and would only say, having read extensively 
about this unfortunate incident, that this could have been dealt with in a far more
respectful, humain and dignified way - yes he was the enemy - but!
GENTO PENGUIN
 The definition of the word Gentoo is a little obscure but said to be
the name Europeans gave to indigenous peoples especially of India?
 Sue at the Graveside of
SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON
Tribute to Shackleton in the most interesting and tiny museum.
 CHINSTRAP PENGUIN
now is that a Clown or not?
 SOUTHERN SEALION
 We had to walk both ways through the processing area.
 KING PENGUINs
 maybe
The King Penguin
 Seals Various
 Winches and Cables to drag the Whales ashore.
 SNOWY SHEATHBILL
who's staple diet is seal faeces
 despised by your average seaman as damaging to 
Varnished Taff Rails.
