Godthul is a somewhat sheltered bay on the Northern coast of South Georgia. Until 1937 it hosted a whaling depot to keep some essentials. These days gentoo penguins, fur seals and elephant seals have the place to themselves, with giant petrels, sheathbills and Arctic terns flying around. Off the coastline humpback whales also enjoy the waters.

You can spot a rare white-furred seal on the shores (above) – there are small pebble beaches, although mostly the coastline is inhospitable formed of steep cliffs (below).

The birds and seals do not mind the rocky coastline but enjoy the plentiful fish and other sealife (below).

Below some gentoos flailing around the seals.
