Try diving it! . Tim and Pauline Carr took Curlew down there... She's now on display at the Falmouth maritime museum. Wonderful hosts!

2010.When was the trip made please?
There is the crashed Argie chopper somewhere nearby too, we don't have any pics of it though.Very very good.
As an aside, whatever happened to the Argy submarine which was disabled and beached at, I think, Grytviken?
Peter says it belongs to a local friend of his, Sam Miller. The story is the boat was actually sailed to the Falklands years ago, by some route, it has had several owners there now.Great photos-always wanted to go there- but did anyone notice in the last pic at Port Stanley-a little Westerly -surely not a Centaur?- moored alongside.
How did that get to the Falklands?
The "wind bullets" in the video clip on page http://www.petersmith.net.nz/photos/south-georgia-9.php are scary!
I'd go and pack my climbing gear.
The video works fine on all the devices I've tested it, does anyone else have issues?must be me/our computer - vid was about 50% corrupted

Bikedaft you can try the version uploaded here: https://vimeo.com/45494299
Which begs another question - why on earth cl;imb up a mountain only to climb back down again having done nothing on the top but stopped for a pee? Weird.
Regulars will remember our photos from Antarctica, Patagonia, and the Falklands from a little while ago.
It’s been promised for a while, and it’s finally here: Peter’s expedition out into the deep South Atlantic, to remote and inhospitable South Georgia.
This is the most extensive write-up and collection of photos that we’ve put online to date. There are over 100 photos spread across nine pages, so put some time aside and enjoy. Online now, follow the link:

Peter and Kiwi Roa were at South Georgia for ten weeks, exploring a world of seafaring history, ruined industry, and of course largely untouched nature and wildlife. Seals, penguins, albatrosses... The island is deep within the Antarctic Convergence and at the limit of attainable expedition cruising. Peter even managed to do a little damage to the boat on both passages. Enjoy the story and photos!
The last two links don't work for me. Correction: none of the links works.
