Both places can be found on the north shore of South Georgia (see below) – the Salisbury Plain is slightly inland from the Bay of Isles and Prince Olav Harbour is the small inlet just under Cape Buller.
You could not land at the coast of the Salisbury Plain, as the beach was already occupied (by 60 000 king penguins and numerous fur seals and their pups). Both the penguins and the seals jumped constantly in and out of the water that is their food table.
Above the beach you could see the massed flocks of king penguins (below).
Prince Olav Harbour is a sheltered small inlet that housed a whaling until 1932. These deays there are no humans – even landing is forbidden as the rotting buildings are not safe (below).
The inhabitants these days are mainly seals – this time of the year (early December) it is time for the fur seals to raise their pups (below left). Some of the birds (in this case a giantpetrel) seem to think that the pups would make a tasty meal (below right).
The wreck of the ship Brutus has been abandoned close to the shore – it was last used as cold storage (below).
The waters are teeming with fur seals, and these seemed to have good time swimming around, rolling in the water, and jumping around (below).
