| 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 private issues of South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands banknotes have been found. Naturally, if there's any activity on the island, the British Pound is used as a local paper currency. |
