Time to start watching the S Georgia webcam again!

I have been invited to attend an event at Discovery Point tomorrow evening. HRH Princess Anne will be there and we are to see a performance of 'Tom Crean', a play about one of the crew who was on Ernest Shackleton's ship the 'Endeavour'. The connection between Tom Crean and the island group of South Georgia in the Southern Atlantic will feature in the play but if you follow the link above, you will be able to read for yourself what the connection is.

I have posted about South Georgia a few times on this blog and always in connection with the webcams which are located there. The webcam views are always particularly interesting during the summer months in S Georgia which are about to begin now as S Georgia is in the southern hemisphere. From now until March you can watch live pictures of seals and penguins on the beach in South Georgia... views just like the ones below (no penguins today but great seals!)

Over the next few months the snow and ice will gradually disappear from all but the highest peaks and you will see some amazing wildlife on that beach thousands of miles away.
