The tiny town of Grytviken is a mystifying settlement at the end of the world that invites and intrigues travelers visiting this South Georgia site on their Antarctica expedition cruise. A fascinating stop in the human history of Antarctic exploration, Grytviken was once a bustling whaling town with over 500 men and their families living there - now the town is home to much fewer people and features just a few public sites, including the cinema, the church, a museum, and a cemetery where legendary Antarctic explorer Shackleton is famously buried. The tundra climate makes this a great stop for hiking on South Georgia Island and makes for one of the most exciting stops on a cruise of the Southern Ocean. Let us know when you are ready to start planning your trip to South Georgia Island, Grytviken, and Antarctica!
