A church-not-church
I usually wouldn't take a photo of a church, but the history of this one is somewhat fascinating to me. While it originally was built as a church (~1913), whalers apparently... didn't really care too much about church. As a result it wound up being used for a litany of other things: showing films, social hall, library, and more. It remains today as one of the best kept up buildings in Grytviken itself and makes for a neat photo against the cliffs. There's also the remains of a ski jump off to the right (outside the shot), because apparently they'd hold ski jump competitions to pass the time.

Derelict whaling station
Rusting and falling apart, with the land effectively reclaimed by wildlife. There’s a 200m exclusion zone for safety, but even from a distance it’s a haunting reminder of an old world practice. An interesting history bit: Shackleton and some of his crew arrived here after crossing the mountains to seek help for his men stuck on Elephant Island.

Iceberg ahoy
Crossing the seas from the Falklands to South Georgia, encountered an iceberg about ~100 miles off the coast. Supposedly not common to find them this far up but it may have broken off a significantly larger iceberg that is floating around the area. Staggering to see in person, and mind blowing when you consider just how deep they go under the surface!
