@ナショナルジオグラフィック Image by Frans Lanting. It was fifty years ago today that the slaughter of whales on South Georgia ended in 1964. More than 175,000 whales were killed there in the preceding 60 years. When I first visited the abandoned whaling stations on that island at the edge of Antarctica some twenty years after their closure, they were haunted places that still smelled of whale. Today one of them, Grytviken, has been turned into a museum of sorts visited by ships bound for Antarctica, while elephant seals and fur seals frolic in the snow. Offshore, whales are making a slow comeback. Scientists wonder why they are not bouncing back more quickly, because the waters around South Georgia teem with krill. But perhaps, like elephants, some whales retain a memory of what happened to their forebears.
