Scientists have made the first on-site observations of the lava lake at one of the world's most remote volcanoes.

' Although it’s only 2,766 feet above sea level, the modest altitude of Mount Michael belies its extraordinary isolation.

“If you stand on Saunders Island,” says Nicholson, “your closest other humans are on the International Space Station. That’s the definition of remote.” '

How utterly insane and fantastic is this!?
The beach at Gold Harbour, #SouthGeorgia is literally thronging with animals as thousands of King Penguins jostle for space with Elephant Seals and Antarctic Fur Seals. It’s even more remarkable when you consider that we (humans) virtually eradicated all #Pinnipeds from these shores and Penguin numbers were low. To me this is #Paradise.

An #unrealEngine visualization project I must return to - a flying virtual tour of #SouthGeorgia #island with an 'introduction' by #ErnestShackleton. This was created using an early version of #CesiumforUnreal, so it'll be interesting to revisit and update in the future when I have some time! Hope you enjoy it. #subAntarctic #digitalHistory #GIS #unrealEngine
