Good imagery resources. They are at: -59.45 Lat(S) -27.326 Long (E)
according to the wx site I posted earlier.
If you make a } on your map from Tierra Del Fuego (southern
Argentina/Chile) and the tip of the Antarctic, making a line going
east, slightly north of that line brings you to a string of islands
(a volcanic rift zone from the shifting plate, interesting geology
in itself); the southern most is Thule, then WNW of Thule is South
Georgia...
Weather wise for the next foreseeable future, it sucks! Freezing or
below, WINDY and inclimate, HIGH humidity in the nicest of times
(and this is SUMMER?). They'll be fortunate to (a) get back aboard,
(b) get to South Georgia Island and (c) operate from there. These
guys are heroes! Give me tropical any day, at least warm and humid
is tolerable with a breeze (and an open bar tab)!

In the last imagery, I believe
the South Sandwich Islands are the right most islands at
~45 degrees. South Georgia Islands are out of view
further to the right. Not exactly a tropical Paradise.
