Summary

[edit]
Description
English: HMS Portland comes face to face with the remarkable size of the Nordenskjold Glacier in South Georgia and local wildlife.

HMS Portland paid a reassurance visit to South Georgia, a remote UK Territory in the Southern Ocean. South Georgia is a pristine natural reserve where the first shots of the Falklands War were fired in 1982.

The island was formerly used for a number of whaling stations until the industry's demise in the 1960's. HMS Portland is currently deployed for 7 months on Atlantic Patrol Task (South) (ATP(S)) where she will reassure UK overseas territories, Commonwealth and other friendly nations.
