South Georgia. Drifting snow over abandoned whaling station. Husvik, Stromness Bay. September 1988. Shackleton left from this station to recover his colleagues who accompanied him on his epic voyage to South Georgia from Elephant Island.

This company was given a lisenced to operate by the Government of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands which is still responsible for the islands. The islands are protectorates of the UK.<br>The photograph shows the main fuel tanks for the station which is almost lost in the blowing snow. This is a late winter scene.
