- Grytviken (/ˈɡrɪtviːkən/ GRIT-vee-kən Norwegian: [ˈɡɾŷːtviːkn̩]) is a settlement on South Georgia in the South Atlantic and formerly a whaling station and the largest settlement on the island. It is located at the head of King Edward Cove within the larger Cumberland East Bay, considered the best harbour on the island. The location's name, meaning "pot bay", was coined in 1902 by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition and documented by the surveyor Johan Gunnar Andersson, after the expedition found old English try pots used to render seal oil at the site. Settlement was re-established on 16 November 1904 by Norwegian Antarctic explorer Carl Anton Larsen on the long-used site of former whaling settlements.
Grytviken is built on a substantial area of sheltered, flat land and has a good supply of fresh water. Although it was the largest settlement on South Georgia, the island's administration was based at the nearby British Antarctic Survey research station at King Edward Point. The whaling station closed in December 1966 when dwindling whale stocks made it uneconomical.
Grytviken no longer has permanent residents but occasionally accommodates researchers and British administrative and military personnel. It is also temporarily inhabited during summer months by a few staff who manage the South Georgia Museum. The settlement has become a popular attraction for Antarctic cruise lines, with many tourists visiting the resting places of polar explorers Sir Ernest Shackleton and Frank Wild in Grytviken's graveyard.
I am developing a video game that is using this location for the storyline. Such a beautiful video, I can't even count the number of money shots you got on this one. The location is surreal, a town halted in its place in time.
How's it going bro?
does it finished or still going on ,name of the game
@@lolco2720 I’m still working on it, it’s called The Endarkenment
Best video I've seen on South Georgia so far. Real artistic skills and excellent editing. Hats off to you.
Wow, thank you!
Great footage, didn't a private scrap metal salvager come ashore in 1982? And raised a flag! It didn't end well. The submarine "Santa fe" ended up there as well, battle damaged and just showing it damaged sail above the water at the wharf. What a great place to visit!
Great footage. I want to go there!
Your channel is fantastic. Every video is spectacular.
Thank you so much 😀
Masterful footage, the music, very well done. I visited there a few years ago, and you captured the place brilliantly.
Amazing video of a magical place, so much linked to Human Greatest Endurance Adventure!
Great footage. I will be going there in November, so there will be more snow. Lovely smooth tracking shots. How did you do them? Gimbal and 60fps?
Watching your videos from manila philippines done watching complete

this place looks like a perfect place for shelter during a nuclear war. far from humanity
A legacy of shame.
For who?
Amazing place, that was the begining of the Malvinas war in 1982, when the british attack argentinean workers that were cleaning the place. The island are near Argentina in fact.
If you call over 2000km near 😂
Falklands War, Falklands and S Georgia as you know are British and will always will be
Nice ahistorical distortion, Paco. It was in fact the site where Argentine Marines (under the guise of being metal scappers) raised the Argentinian flag in an act of overt aggression which was swiftly punished and rectified. The British flag still flies and always will.
