      Salisbury Plain, St. Andrews Bay, Gold Harbour: The three largest king penguin colonies in the world are located in South Georgia. At this time of year, if you are lucky, you can already see the king penguins breeding, while the still fluffy young of the previous year scurry through the colony. Elephant seals are also present here in large numbers, and the sea bear cubs frolic in the waves.


      Prion Island: No bird has such a huge wingspan as the wandering albatross. A large colony of the huge animals lives on Prion.


      Grytviken: The abandoned whaling station offers a small, interesting museum and a Norwegian wooden church. Of course, a visit to Shackletonโ€™s grave is not to be missed. Penguins waddle along the paths, elephant seals bask in sheltered corners.
