Very geographical web cam


Where are those penguins and seals?

South Georgia is owned by Britain but located down near the South Pole in the southern Atlantic Ocean. (To the right is a NASA satellite image of the normally very cold island). It is a remote island to humans but has some great wildlife.

The web link below (which is now permanently in the sidebar under KS3 Geolinks) is a web cam located on South Georgia which refreshes every 3 minutes. At the moment you will see the very cute seals lazing around on the beach here.
Keep checking on it to try and see baby seals, penguins, interesting birds and how the weather changes down there.
To the left is a taster of what you could see. These are masses of emperor penguin males during breeding season.
