Despite being a desperately remote group of islands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands have quite a history .
Here’s a nice bit of trivia for ya
The islands were initially named “South” Sandwich Islands to distinguish them from the then “Sandwich Islands” now known as “Hawaii”
I’ve always wanted to visit sub-antarctic islands for various reasons (paddling would be nice, skiing and scuba diving even nicer) 
but I imagine staying there for any extended period of time must be hell. 
Here’s a great resource to start exploring South Atlantic and Sub-Antarctic Islands
