Eurasian Reindeer at Stromness, Islands of South Georgia. Summer 1991.



Three herds were established in 1913 to give the whalers fresh meat, and sport. One herd died out, leaving two distinct herds separated by the mountains. A couple of years ago all the reindeer were culled, apparently because they were not endemic to the islands.
