Whaler Bay on Deception Island

Yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon, our first day in Antarctica, we visited
Whaler Bay on Deception Island. This where they killed and rendered
thousands of whales during the early part of the 20th century. The use
of this place ended in 1931 when it no longer became economically viable
when there was a glut of whale oil on the market during the depression.
At the end they were able to render an entire whale in 45 minutes.

There wasn't much wildlife in Whaler Bay as the bay waters are not good
for feeding. There were a few penguins and one Weddell seal.
