Subantarctic Island

South Georgia

Jason Harbour

Jason Harbor is a sheltered bay on the east coast of the sub-Antarctic island South Georgia. A refuge was built here in 1911, which can still be visited today. The small hut was mainly used for mail traffic between whaling stations. The landscape is varied and many different animal species can be discovered on a short tour.

Pebble beaches, large alluvial plains with tussock grass, small ponds and a beautiful coastal landscape offer pure variety. Care should be taken when walking, because Antarctic fur seals are hiding everywhere in the tall grass and every now and then a large elephant seal is well camouflaged in the dense green. With a little luck, king penguins, various seabirds and a carnivorous duck species can also be observed.

Tourists can also board an expedition ship South Georgia discover, for example on the Sea Spirit.
