Baleen

Baleen, collected from Grytviken, South Georgia, Antarctica by donors Husband. Husband worked as a microbiologist at the University of Dundee until 2004. His work took him to Antarctica twice, the fist with B.A.S in 75/76 and the second in 1983 to Dry Valleys with New Zealand Antarctic Survey. On the first trip when he was on route via South Georgia he collected the baleen. He reports that many harpoons littered the beach and that the baleen was waste from the whaling activities.
