South Georgia: The whaling museum at the end of the world
In 1992, the late zoologist Nigel Bonner opened one of the world's most remote museums, the South Georgia Whaling Museum, on South Georgia, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic.
Despite its isolated location, 1,400km east of the Falkland Islands, it remains open today and gets around 15,000 visitors a year.
Rachel Naylor speaks to Jan Cheek, a friend of the founder and former trustee of the museum.
