What ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ธ means

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ธ mostly appears from expedition cruises and wildlife fans posting king penguins with ๐Ÿง.

Polar fans know South Georgia as the place where explorer Ernest Shackleton is buried. Argentina also claims the islands.
