Penguins on abandoned stations?

by pingwing

Does any penguin researcher know if there are penguins living now on abandoned whaling stations at Grytviken or Stromness in South Georgia?
I know there are Penguins on SG itself, especially in St. Andrews Bay (there are some pictures here from the King Penguin breeding colony in that place) but are there any near formerly human settlements??? There is an old video on Youtube which includes footage of a Grytiken resident chasing penguins around - maybe they still remember that...
