South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands: A Haven of Pristine Wilderness and Scientific Discovery
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (SGSSI) is a British Overseas Territory in the southern Atlantic Ocean. Comprising two main island groups, this remote and uninhabited territory is renowned for its ecological significance and historical heritage. Managed by a commissioner based in the Falkland Islands, approximately 1,390 km east-southeast of South Georgia, SGSSI is a vital destination for scientific research and ecotourism and forms part of the wider Scotia Arc system.
