Hundreds of Fur Seals on the Beach – Video

One of the great surprises of South Georgia are the abundance of fur seals that can be found there. On my first trip to South Georgia, I had the opportunity to visit Ocean Harbour, which was the location of an old whaling station. During my visits to the Galapagos Islands I had the chance to see five or six fur seals but on South Georgia, they number in the hundreds. The first time I stepped foot on Ocean Harbour I was in awe at the number of fur seals I saw. There were fur seals everywhere. They were all over the beach and in the water. Not only that, they were congregating in the lush grass at the base of the mountain. There were so many sea lions that it made me feel like an alien on another planet.
