Gold Harbour is a small bay 5 miles (8 km) south-southwest of Cape Charlotte, with Bertrab Glacier at its head, along the east end of South Georgia – which is East of the Southern tip of South America.
During the early 1900s, the feature was variously called Anna’s Bay, Gold-Hafen or Sandwich Bay; the latter name has also been used for Iris Bay. The approved name appears to have taken root through common usage by sealers and whalers and is now well established. It is so called because the sun’s rays make the cliffs yellow with their light in the morning and evening.
This video is apparently of a tourist who sat on the beach to watch the seals and penguins on Gold Harbor.
Unexpectedly, one of the seals is apparently attracted to her and slowly works his way over to her. He seems to ‘fall in love’ and snuggles and flirts with her. It is quite an unusual and interesting scene. The seals are huge (6,000 lbs), yet she never seemed afraid… more amused… while someone shot the video of this incident.
Gold Harbor, South Georgia is not a frequent destination for tourists.
