HMS Portland has come across some formidable scenery - including the mighty Nordenskjold Glacier - during a visit to the island of South Georgia. HMS Portland encountered the massive block of ice on a recent trip to the remote UK territory hundreds of miles to the east of South America. The encounter came as the Type 23 frigate went on an exploratory tour from the Falkland Islands, where Portland is based on South Atlantic patrol. She sailed from East Cove Military Port, her traditional port in the Falklands, to carry out her remit to protect, reassure and defend the South Atlantic overseas territories
