Grytviken is a little off the beaten path but a most welcome harbor of refuge. Ice Class sailing is practiced here and the museum has all the proven venture artifacts from whaling to Shackelton’s small boat he arrived on from the Antarctic. Then there’s the museum grounds replete with whale industry mechanization. The wildlife is stunning and the reason I visited here only to happen on the completely original collections.
The boats will arrive February 17, 2023
(there’s also plenty to explore on the map year-round)
To get access to the Show, you need a Full Access Pass:
1. If you attended the WCBS in 2021 or 2022, your login will still work 2. If you’re new to the Show, you can get a ticket by clicking “Get Full Access” 3.NOTE: Off Center Harbor members still need a separate WCBS account; this is a different login system
If you want to create or update pages and classifieds
but aren’t ready to buy a ticket, you can start here – but you won’t get access to all the boats and daily presentations.
