Rusty Chains, South Georgia Island

These chains were used in the whaling factory on South Georgia. That area is now being converted to an environmental display.

We visited South Georgia on our 2008 cruise, one of the very few full-sized cruise ships allowed to stop there. (Most of the ships that come in are the small, adventure type ships.)

It was the equivalent of August in the Southern Hemisphere, and it was snowing the whole time that we were visiting.
