Crazy that Antarctica won this month  Grytviken used to be a whaling town in Antarctica. Good riddance to that when the whaling population went way down and that practice had to be stopped. Nowadays there's only like three residents and it's now a tourists' destination. Artifical owl link with pics of rotting boats and buildings Wikipedia page |

I don't think any of the residents are permanent either.

^According to a guy I follow on IG who used to be there, you can only stay for about 7 months. But I'm not sure.

One of those places you want to visit, but you also don't want to die there.

And there's a very limited time per year you can go, if you can go at all.

How did you first learn of this wonder? I can't believe I didn't know about it until tonight.

Through Artificial Owl. A friend of mine sent me that link ages ago. It's a shame that site hasn't been updated in forever.

Does anyone else find every abandoned place so fascinating?
