We visited a former whaling station, Grytviken, this morning where explorer Ernest Shakleton is buried. There is a museum, post office, church and a warehouse that we could visit, as well as Mr Shakleton's grave.

There were lots of seals and seal pups, and a few penguins. It was wonderful to see.Read more
