South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and Capital Introduction

South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands are a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic, east of the Falkland Islands. There is no permanent population, only government officers, scientists and museum staff at King Edward Point and Grytviken, a former whaling station. The islands are known for their huge penguin and seal colonies and are surrounded by a large marine protected area.

Economic Activity

Income comes from licences for regulated fisheries for toothfish and krill, and from visitors on expedition cruise ships heading to and from Antarctica.

Is There an Investor Market?

No. There are no local businesses or investors. Founders in polar tourism, ocean science or sustainable fisheries raise from investors in the United Kingdom and elsewhere.

Nearest Capital Markets

The nearest GCN dinner markets are London and Rio de Janeiro.
