History and Heritage of South Georgia and The South Sandwich Islands

[@schlenbea]

Thank you for this video! I randomly stumbled across these old whaling stations just looking at remote places on Google maps and was fascinated by the immense structures and machinery littering the landscape, abandoned. I had to know more and that how I found this video!

[@divingindeepspace5429]

Im writing a book, and i needed a location for a secret enemy base. After watching your video i chose these beuatiful island, and the waling station as my base. Thank you

[@YasuEntertainement]

What is your book?

[@torsutton9641]

I'm telling everyone. No more secret😂

[@blitzkriegbop6666]

I have an entire book written, it was just missing a secret base, after reading your comment I chose this island. It's getting published tomorrow 😊

What's it's called?? ​@@blitzkriegbop6666

Thankyou for this very informative film. The earth has few wild areas and the sea of the southern ocean and it's many islands must remain a wilderness. The animals need this and we need this. And our future grand children need this. Can you imagine what they would think if their cry is once there were whales...

I came here because I wanted to learn more about the South Georgia islands as they are written about in the novel Endurance by Alfred Lansing. This video is great and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about whaling. The bit on Shackleton was informative and bridges the novel to present day. Great work.

Right next to Falklands 😄

I was looking at a map and looked for some remote island and found this one and just decided to type it into You tube and see if anything came up LOL.. wow.. what an eye opener...

[@MrCrabbing]

Love to go there and see the place.

[@relativexistence505]

This is so interesting, thanks for making this awesome informative video on the south Atlantic’s history!

[@bepyn4ik]

Im petty sure that South Georgia and the South Sandwich islands are in the Antartic Ocean

[@KenjiStarwolf]

awesome reporter! he was telling the right story but didnt judge the old man for beeing a whaler and listing carefully, such a good person!

[@MankindFilm]

I’m developing a video game that’s set on Arctic island with an abandoned whaling outpost on it. It’s great learning the history of these outposts and it’s a treasure of info for adding legitimacy to my games storyline. Great video!

[@rapidthrash1964]

Do you need unity assets for this? I might have some that I made for a game (taking place on a fictional Alaskan island)?

[@MankindFilm]

@@rapidthrash1964 I think I’ve got everything I’ll need minus a programmer haha. I’m using unreal engine and I’ve based a huge area on this town. It’s looking good so far!

[@adriaanboogaard8571]

Very interesting and we'll made program. I enjoyed learning from it. I currently am unable to Travel so you help this Old guy travel in my mind. Thanks for getting me out doors from my Sofa.😁

great video!

[@mahtabahmed9898]

Very informative video

[@Leke05]

I would go and never leave the island.

[@electrominded8372]

It has tons of mammals, fish and birds to eat and plenty of freshwater, plus abandoned ships and buildings. Who is to say SG is inhospitable!?

[@normanclatcher]

Wimps.

[@derekchevron2491]

I think I may move and relocate there.

[@akacadian3714]

No mention of the S Georgia during the Falklands War?

Of course we haven't learned anything from the last century of whaling. Has anyone thought of the shareholders?
