From the Archive: Whaler’s Bay Antarctica.
2010 May 22
This weeks photo from the archive, comes from a remote volcanic island in Antarctica – Deception Island.
Situated in the South Shetland Islands off of the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, Deception Island operated a whaling station from 1912 to 1931. Known as Whaler’s Bay, the site today is a littered with rusting tanks, collapsing buildings and partially buried remains, like in this photo.
Today the island is a popular stop for visiting tourists travelling to Antarctica on polar cruise ships.
