South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (territory of the UK)
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands are remote, sub-Antarctic territories of the United Kingdom located in the southern Atlantic Ocean. South Georgia is a rugged island known for its impressive mountain ranges, glaciers, and abundant wildlife, including penguins and seals. The South Sandwich Islands are a chain of smaller, volcanic islands with active volcanoes. These territories are largely uninhabited, except for scientific researchers and a small group of conservation personnel. They are important for wildlife conservation, scientific research, and serve as strategic points for Antarctica-related activities. The UK administers them as an overseas territory.
