South Georgia, the island that is simply my favorite place in the world, is abuzz with activity, and hopes are running high. The great rat eradication will begin late this month, and, if successful, this will be the largest rat eradication ever. This is a wonderful thing, making possible a vast expansion in prime seabird nesting habitat. The energy going into this effort is evident in South Georgia Heritage Trust's recent newsletter: http://sght.org/documents/SGHT%20Newsletter4.pdf
So many Cheesemans' Ecology Safaris travelers have helped us in supporting SGHT to date that we recently received a very kind note from these good folk thanking us for our efforts. Great stuff! http://sght.org/donations.htm
On a more historical note, some of the Grytviken Museum collections online now: http://ehive.com/account/3408
But of course it's always far better in person; you can join us south! http://www.cheesemans.com/antarctica.html
Albatross forever!
