Creator's Key Takeaways
landing here stepping onto the pebble beaches and looking up to the rusted remains of the whaling station hit me with a wave of unforgettable emotion
the initial joy of standing in a bay i'd so often imagined quickly dissipated as i walked into the derelict station and was washed over by the bleak reality of gritvikin's past
much of the wildlife has not only recovered but has flourished
i became inspired knowing that in south georgia there has been a sustained effort to not only minimize human impacts on the environment but in the case of gripvacon to successfully reverse them
