1076839 - The house of the whaling station manager at Husvik, South Georgia. This shows the house in late winter and surrounded by snow. It was declared a "safe House" after the 1980 Falkland Conflict and was used by British Army Patrols as short-term overnight accommodation. It was then taken over by the British Antarctic Survey as a field station used by researcher in summer. This was where Shackleton departed from when he made his first attempt to rescue his men from Eelphant Island.
