We don't have the pleasure of Martin's voice announcing that it's 5am today, the wake-up call is at 8.15 and breakfast is on at 9. We are moored in Grytviken, and once again the weather is grey and it's snowing on and off. Very different atmosphere to my previous visit in December 2013. Grytviken is a former whaling station, and the buildings have been preserved and made safe for visitors. There is also a wonderful museum and a small (but very-well stocked) shop. At the bay's entrance, on King Edward Point, you find the local authorities (under the responsibility of the Governor of the Falklands, and ultimatelythe British crown). They mostly have in charge the fisheries policy, and environmental watch. There is also a small research station. People only live here in summer.
