"Relics" is a rather kind way of saying junk. When the whalers left, a large amount of equipment used to process the whales was left behind, this just sat around and slowly rusted. Over the years, the land was cleared of these relics largely by the time-trusted manner of throwing it in the sea and forgetting where it went.

| This picture is one of a collection assembled in
2007 on the 60th anniversary of Signy Island Base: 60°43'S 045°36'W.
Thank you to those who sent their treasured memories of their time in
Antarctica and allowed them to be made into a commemorative cd and then
placed here on the web. The reunion weekend was
14-16 September 2007 |
