This is the new look for the wildisland cemeteries website. The old version of the South Georgia Cemeteries website is still available through the menu at the top and you can look at the new version while I am upgrading it over the next few months. There is no need to let me know about any errors, omisisons, or problems yet; I am aware of enough to keep me busy for a while.

In March 2018, during the SGHT Rodent Monitoring project that completed the eradication project, a visit to Prince Olav Harbour enabled the replica grave marker for John Anderson's grave on pig point to be placed in the correct position. The replica had been placed a few metres away due to fur seal activity at the time, but fortunately a pipe had been used to mark the correct spot, and a photograph of the original marker allowed the replica to be correctly aligned.
