GRYTVIKEN USUSPECTED
I hardly dare imagine the massacres of thousands of whales that occurred on this site. Only the archive footage shows the horror of this industrial city.
Today, the place is peaceful but still carries the stigma of that time to say that we must not forget.

entry description
Stopover in South Georgia before Antarctica. Everything is calm and serenity. Therefore, I could not suspect Grytviken. Former whaling station, the contrast is striking between the beauty of the landscapes, the animals and this ghost factory.I hardly dare imagine the massacres of thousands of whales that occurred on this site. Only the archive footage shows the horror of this industrial city.
Today, the place is peaceful but still carries the stigma of that time to say that we must not forget.
