Reindeer and King penguin.
Fortuna Bay, South Georgia Island.
The reindeer were introduced on South Georgia Island in 1911 by the Norwegian whalers as a source of meat. The population of about 2000 animals is a threat to the environment of South Georgia island and there is a call to eradicate them in an effort to protect the island's native inhabitants.
