Photo of the Day – King Penguins Cozy up in South Georgia
July 30, 2013
King Penguins, Aptenodytes patagonica, are one of the key iconic Antarctic species that we are working hard to protect as we continue to fight for the Antarctic Ocean. King penguins have been equipped with depth recorders and have been found to regularly dive to 500m (1600ft). Deep dives tend only to occur during the daytime with only shallow dives being recorded at night.
