I am fascinated by the ruins left by the whalers. There is a lot of controversy about whether they should be cleaned up and removed, or whether they should be allowed to remain as they are.
I hope they stay. I understand wanting to get rid of them and making the landscape as close as it can be to what it looked like before humans arrived. But apart from the difficulty of undertaking an ambitious cleanup in such a remote location, I like having these pieces of history there, and I especially like that the plants and animals are gradually taking them over. Taking South Georgia back.
