South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
GS
The only place on earth where penguins outnumber people.
The most remote, windswept, and awe-inspiring islands that will make you question your life choices.
Where the wildlife is so fierce, you'll need a team of experts to safely remove the seagulls from your picnic blanket.
South Georgia is the final resting place of the famous explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton.
The islands have no permanent human residents, only government officials and scientists.
