We awoke to some stunning scenery in Godthul Bay on the north coast of the Barff Peninsula. Godthul is the location of one of seven land-based whaling stations that were operational on South Georgia, though it was possibly the smallest.
South Georgia has glaciers that terminate in the sea and occasionally give birth to icebergs. The coast of the island is currently littered with icebergs that are mere fragments of the mega iceberg A76, which was roughly the same dimensions as South Georgia! This much ice is a real treat. One of those fragments has made its way into Godthul Bay and is currently home to several gentoo penguins. That and some very calm weather, another treat, made for some fantastic Zodiac cruises and kayaking conditions.
