Flag of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
Encyclopedia : F : FL : FLA : Flag of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
The Flag of the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands was granted in 1985, when the Territory was created. Previously the Territory was a part of the Falkland Islands Dependancy and used the same flag.
The flag is a blue ensign, with the Union Flag in the canton, defaced with the Coat of Arms of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. The flag flies over the main government settlements on South Georgia Island, and the scientific bases of the British Antarctic Survey. A flag is available for the Civil Commissioner of the Territory, a Union Flag defaced with the coat of arms. As the Civil Commissioner is also the Governor of the Falkland Islands, the flag is only in use when the Commissioner visits the Territory.
