South Georgia Island gallery with 6 King penguin photos : South Georgia Island and King penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus). Pictures of King penguins in the wild nature of these unusual islands near Antarctica. South Georgia Island is problably the best place in the world to see King penguins in the wild. King Penguins breed on the subantarctic islands and over 1,000,000 pairs breed on South Georgia Island. Huge colonies can be seen on St. Andrews Bay, Gold Harbour, Fortuna Bay and Salisbury Plain. Photos were taken on a Cheesemans' Ecology Safaris tour to this fantastic Subantarctic island in the South Attlantic Ocean near Antarctica in 2003 and 2008. See more photos in gallery of King penguin photos from South Georgia Island Click on the photos to see a larger version. Huge King penguin colonies. The number of penguins are breathtaking. Walking into the colonies are of cource not allowed, but just standing on the beach is overwhelming. The sound and smell is unforgettable. King penguin hill The King penguin colony at St. Andrews Bay in South Georgia Island is one of the largest and has over 100,000 birds. See the photo King penguin hill in the King penguin gallery. King penguins eat small fish, mainly lanternfish, and squid and rely less than most Southern Ocean predators on krill and other crustaceans. On foraging trips they repeatedly dive to over 100 meters (350 feet), often over 200 meters (700 feet). Keywords: huge king penguin rookery, King Penguins and tourists Tourists looking at the King Penguin colony from the beach at Gold Harbour, South Georgia Island. See the picture of King Penguins and tourists in the King penguin gallery. Penguins in general are tolerant of tourists and are not alarmed by their presence as long as they do not enter the colony. It is a fantastic experience to see the penguins comming ashore on the beach and walk up to the colony. Keywords: travel, people, rookery Moulting king penguins A group of moulting king penguins standing in a cold stream in the mountainous landscape of Salisbury Plain, South Georgia Island. See the image of Moulting king penguins in the King penguin gallery. To survive in the very cold water the penguin’s feathers have special features to keep them insulated. When they are molting they must stay out of the water to not disrupt their molting phase. Keywords: moult, mountain, landscape
