Whales Are Returning To South Atlantic Remote Islands

The place that was once credited as one of the greatest whaling stations on Earth is once again making big headlines.

In the South Atlantic, South Georgia and the Sandwich islands may not have any human habitation, but they are now thriving with wildlife, thanks to the penguins, seals and whales making their way back to this once deserted place.

The south of Sandwich Islands and South Georgia is a favorite spot for mammals drawn by the abundant krill and fish in the waters. Wherever you look, you can easily spot a seal, a penguin or a whale – an incredible sight to watch.

Visitors and tourists to the islands are often the center of attention of the very curious baby seals and the penguins. Even though tourists are not allowed to go close to the wildlife, the baby animals will rush to them for a closer look.

The history of this place is worth knowing too.
