Species: King Penguins | Location: St. Andrews Bay, South Georgia in the Southern Ocean near Antarctica, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
Dawn on St. Andrews Bay in South Georgia, in the Southern Ocean, was a spectacular experience. We shared the sunrise with the largest King Penguin colony in the world. Stretching for miles were an estimated 300,000 Kings... but who's counting? A small group of the adults entered the surf in their endless task of feeding hungry chicks (who would drown before molting their downy coats and gaining their slick, water-friendly adult feathers).
