A dip in the steaming hot springs of a black sand beach feel like an unreal experience amid the snow-capped mountains in the background. Walking among the remnants of a whaling station at Whalers Bay, a haunting air takes over the atmosphere. The dark, rocky peaks of Elephant Island beckon you, daring you to come and explore its weathered coastline.
