Dec. 29, Grytviken–Wildlife and Rust

We woke up to a beautiful morning: not a cloud in the sky and a great view of the old whaling station of Grytviken, which stopped operation in December of 1964

The weather changed from sun to snow.  Young Elephant seals practicing the sparing; and a Antarctic fur seal is protecting his territory in the snowfall .
