South Georgia Island from space

South Georgia Island from space Today’s Video of the Day from the European Space Agency features the island of South Georgia from space.

Located in the southern Atlantic Ocean, the island is home to five million seals and 65 million birds.

There is no permanent human presence on the island due to its remote location and inhospitable conditions.

The capital of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands is King Edward Point. It is situated on the North-eastern Coast of South Georgia Island. South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands are rugged islands, rising out of the Southern side. There are are few residents, very few people live here and only those who really want to make the trip end upcoming. These islands are one of the most remote places in the world, with the only access being by the sea. South Georgia Island is one of the most remote destinations on the entire planet, hidden away in the wild waters of the southern Atlantic Ocean
