| South Georgia
and the South Sandwich Islands (SGSSI) is a British
overseas territory in the southern Atlantic Ocean. It is
a remote and inhospitable collection of islands,
consisting of South Georgia – which measures
approximately 106 miles (170 km) by 18 miles (29 km) and
is by far the largest island in the territory – and
a group of smaller islands known as the South Sandwich
Islands. There is no native population on any of the
islands, and the only present inhabitants are the British
Government Officer, Deputy Postmaster, scientists, and
support staff from the British Antarctic Survey who
maintain scientific bases at Bird Island and at the
capital, King Edward Point, as well as museum staff at
nearby Grytviken. No privately released souvenir notes of
South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands banknotes have been discovered so far. Naturally, if
there's any activity on the island, the British Pound is used as a local paper currency. |
