Along Wiencke's west coast is Port Lockroy. The 800m-long harbor is the most popular tourist stop during Antarctica travel; nearly 6000 people visit during the summer months. An old British base has been renovated into a museum, giving visitors the opportunity to experience what life used to be like in 1950s Antarctica. There is also a gift shop and post office onsite to send a letter back home, or a photograph of the gentoo penguin that live nearby. Evidence of the whaling industry, which prevailed until the 1930s, is also found on the island. Displayed is a large fin whale skeleton. It is reassembled each summer, after the winds of the winter months blow it apart.
