Historic images around the station

From South Georgia Museum

On Sunday 14th March the abandoned whaling station was filled with ghosts of its often forgotten past, whale carcasses dominating the landscape again. As the day ended and darkness fell, Grytviken was illuminated and the flensing plan came alive once more. Bringing a layer of this place's past into the present, by projecting old slides with scenes from the whaling days into the derelict whaling station, the machinery and architecture were illuminated and this ambiguous site was brought alive by it's histories.
