What travellers are saying
- DuncanTCHEast Greenbush, NY1,183 contributionsI'm not particularly wild about museums at historical sites. In general, they're not well presented, the items are interesting and it's just left over "stuff" that the historians didn't want to give away. But the South Georgia Museum is really terrific. The individual rooms each speak to a specific topic surrounding the island (the whaling room is particularly hard to get through). The items that they have are extremely interesting to view (including the old movie projector and the list of movies shown during Christmas!). And the descriptions of the items are well written and communicate effectively, even for someone like me who doesn't know the history well. After spending time viewing nature and animals, this makes a nice visit to wrap up your stay.Written 17 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DuncanTCHEast Greenbush, NY1,183 contributionsWhat a wonderful place! Don't ask me how, but it was nearly 50 degrees when we visited and it felt like a spring day. The sky was breath taking blue, the waters crystal clear and the animals everywhere. What a magically place and I'd love to go back and spend more time.Written 17 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- swoodrufMuskegon, MI1,231 contributionsWhat a thrill to visit the grave of one of your heroes. Sir Ernest Shackleton was one of the greatest leaders to ever live. He wasn't the best at exploration, but he led every single one of his sailors to make it through their perilous journey. The grave is well marked and well kept. No sense posting another pic as mine looks like all of the others. Definitely a MUST DO!Written 14 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- DuncanTCHEast Greenbush, NY1,183 contributionsThis simple church is really beautiful, but it also a major contradiction. Set in amazing scenery with beautiful mountains and glaciers all around, this church served as religious center for a group of people hunting and killing God's creatures. Strange to see religion normalizing what we view today as horribly barbaric. Obviously a part of their culture (from which Norway has thankfully moved on), taken by itself the church is elegantly simple and obviously served as a cultural center for this population (including the extensive library in the rear of the church). The church is well maintained and still in active use for special services. Definitely worth the visit.Written 17 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
