Paddling South Georgia

In true Sir Ernest Shackelton spirit, a bunch of kiwis decided to paddle around  South Georgia Island in a kanoe

 Here’s a map for those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about.

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
