The museum at the end of the world - a podcast by BBC World Service

In 1992, the late zoologist Nigel Bonner opened one of the world's most remote museums, the South Georgia Whaling Museum, on South Georgia, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic.

Despite its isolated location, 1,400km east of the Falkland Islands, it remains open today and gets around 15,000 visitors a year.

Rachel Naylor speaks to Jan Cheek, a friend of the founder and former trustee of the museum.
