Quotas existed for the number of whales that could be caught. The Government maintained a base at King Edward Point, in the same bay as Grytviken whaling station, to monitor the catches. Once whaling finished, the buildings were put into use by the Falkland Islands Dependency Survey, and later the British Antarctic Survey. |
