Attractions

The South Georgia Museum is the key to many visitors' understanding and enjoyment of the island. Originally set up purely as a whaling museum, in 1992, it has since diversified so that its exhibits now illustrate most aspects of South Georgia's history and natural history, as well as items of current interest.
