In the movie the whaling station was abandoned in October 1904, when in fact it wasn't until the following month that the first whaling station, Grytviken (Cauldron Bay), was established in the Antarctic, and not at Bouvetøya, but in South Georgia. Modern whalers didn't reach Bouvet until the 1928-29 season, and these were operating with factory ships offshore. In 1928, the UK waived its claim on the island in favor of Norway, which had occupied the island the previous year. In 1971, Norway designated Bouvet Island and the adjacent territorial waters a nature reserve. Since 1977, it has run an automated meteorological station on the island.
