Gullidviken, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
Gullidviken is the main settlement and historic center of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, located in the remote sub-Antarctic region of the South Atlantic Ocean. It is governed by the British Overseas Territories and is known for the site of a whaling station in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which was once one of the world's largest whale oil processing sites.
Today, Gullidviken serves as a scientific research station and tourist destination, preserving museums, churches and cemeteries from the whaling era, including the resting place of the famous explorer Ernest Shackleton. The surrounding natural environment is characterized by glaciers, mountains and abundant wildlife such as king penguins, seals and albatrosses.
Due to the harsh climate and isolation, there are no permanent residents and only a seasonal presence of scientific researchers. Its unique ecological and historical values are on the international list of concerns and visitors are subject to strict environmental regulations.
