South Georgia Island

Japanese: サウス・ジョージア[島](英語表記)South Georgia Island
South Georgia Island
A British island in the western South Atlantic. It is located at 54°15'S and 36°15'W, about 1300km east-southeast of the Falkland Islands, and forms an adjoining territory of the Falkland Islands. Glaciers spread out from Mount Pagit (2915m) in the center, and fjords have developed along the coast. It once prospered through whaling, and the summer population of the main settlement, Grytviken, exceeded 1000, but today the only permanent population is 22 people (1980) at the observation station at King Edward Point.
