Talk:Grytviken/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In this part:

Grytviken is a popular stop for cruise ships visiting Antarctica, and tourists usually land to visit Shackleton's grave. There is a small museum in part of the former whaling station; its two curators are the only permanent inhabitants of the island.

I'm not sure if these two are the only permanent inhabitants of the island, I red a book that says there are an old couple living in a yacht called "Curlew" next to Petrel, they're called Tim and Pauline Carr. I did search in the web and I found some information that confirms that, take a look at the links below..

I think this number should be 4 (four), 4 permanent inhabitants of the island.

The Carrs ran the museum and lived on their yacht Curlew. They retired and left in 2006. There are no permanent inhabitants.PatLurcock 16:31, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
