Solveig Gunbjørg Jacobsen (born 8 October 1913) was the first person born south of the Antarctic Convergence. Her father Fridthjof Jacobsen (1874-1953) settled in South Georgia in 1904 to become assistant manager, and from 1914 to 1921 manager of the Grytviken whaling station. Jacobsen and his wife Klara Olette Jacobsen had two of their children born on the island. The birth was registered by the resident British Stipendiary Magistrate of South Georgia, James Wilson.
