The flag of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands predominantly features the colors blue, white, and red. Central to the design is a blue ensign with a Union Jack occupying the upper left quarter, showcasing deep blue and bold red, colors traditionally linked to British flags, representing the islands’ status as a British Overseas Territory. The right half of the flag displays the coat of arms set on a white disc, contrasting vividly against the blue. This emblem includes a golden lion holding a torch, symbolizing both sovereignty and discovery. The blue of the background symbolizes the surrounding ocean, critical to the islands’ identity and history. Additionally, the shield at the base of the coat of arms features blue and white waves, further representing the maritime environment of this sub-Antarctic region.
