Talk amongst yourselves
Talk amongst yourselves, King Penguins, Gold Harbour, South Georgia Island, Southern Ocean
While the Gold Harbour colony is not the largest King Penguin colony on South Georgia, it was my first encounter with these beautiful, social birds. About three feet tall, they are curious and completely unafraid of humans (and often oblivious to them). Due to their asymmetrical mating cycle, all penguin behaviors (courting, mating, nesting, chick raising and molting) are on display all the time unlike the phased seasonal cycles of other Antarctic penguins. You just don’t know where to look sometimes.
