The flag of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, a British territory in the far South Atlantic. It is a Blue Ensign with a coat of arms featuring a fur seal and a penguin.
No one lives there except research and government staff, so ๐ฌ๐ธ mostly appears from expedition cruises and wildlife fans posting king penguins with ๐ง.
Polar fans know South Georgia as the place where explorer Ernest Shackleton is buried. Argentina also claims the islands.
