The annual gathering
of king penguins on the beaches of South Georgia
Island is one of the most phenomenal wildlife
spectacles on the planet. It is a confirmation of the
abundance of the Southern Ocean on which they
depend. These birds are in prime breeding condition
and are showing off their colors to mates. Fisheries
around South Georgia are well-regulated, but beyond
the territorial limits of the island a lot of work
remains to be done to safeguard a future for king
penguins and all other wildlife dependent on the
frigid seas surrounding Antarctica. Follow me
FransLanting and ChristineEckstrom for more
penguin spectacles from the Southern Ocean.
