Blue whales have 'rediscovered' South Georgia - BBC News
Blue whale sightings off South Georgia raise hopes of recovery | Environment | The Guardian - "After single sighting in 20 years of surveys, new expedition and analysis bring 58"
South Georgia is a small island in the South Atlantic / Antarctic Ocean about 1,100 mi / 1,800 km due east of Cape Horn, the southernmost part of South America. It was a major whaling center in the early 20th cy., before most whaling was outlawed. Seals have recovered but whales have been much slower to recover, especially blue whales, the largest animals ever.
