Grytviken means "pot cove" in Norwegian, and this whaling station was named for the sealers' trypots that were found there. The whaling station was established by C. A. Larsen in 1904, and it closed in December of 1962 after the large-scale whaling activity depleted the whale population The remains of the station, the church and some of the original houses are now a museum. Ernest Shackleton, the legendary Antarctic explorer, is buried in the whalers cemetery on the south shore. This panorama was shot from the deck of our ship which was anchored in King Edward Cove. |

The Stillwater depot holds a collection of photos and artifacts connected with the area around Stillwater and the St. Croix River. Photographs depicting the early years of settlement and logging operations are blown up poster size and mounted, with a full explanation of the events pictured. Cases hold railroad tools and daily use items, and full size dummies are costumed in antique clothing. The museum is small, but there is a lot to see. The building itself is a museum piece. There is a gift shop, containing all manner of railroad-themed items, among other things. The Depot is only open when the Minnesota Zephyr is running, which varies seasonally. |

A 360 of the former office of Peter Britos, former Director of the Hawaii State Art Museum.
Amazing enough, Pete sat still for 21 frames! He is now Associate Professor of Communication and Multimedia Program Chair at Hawaii Pacific University, Honolulu. You can see the panorama "in the round" by viewing it on Google Earth. This one is 7R x 40C. |
