WHALERS CHURCH
GRYTVIKEN, SOUTH GEORGIA, MARCH 2025
"The snow fell and the wind was eerie as I followed the path to this quaint little ‘Whalers Church’ built in Gothic Revival style, typical of Norwegian architecture, and opened in 1912. Its bells first rang on Christmas Eve 1913. Being the first church to be established in the Antarctic region, its importance throughout the rich whaling history of South Georgia is well known, serving the whalers and their families for baptisms, marriages, and funerals. Sir Ernest Shackleton's grave was consecrated here in 1932, and many visitors are moved by the solemn calmness in a once bustling whaling station."
