The largest King Penguin rookery in the world is in St. Andrews Bay on South Georgia. The penguins have a complicated reproductive cycle, and this rookery is occupied by penguins year-round. They are a noisy group, but they are not as smelly as the Adelie, Gentoo or Chinsatrap Penguins that we met on this voyage. The King Penguins eat mostly fish, not krill. The difference in diet accounts for the gentler aroma of the colony. There are probably a few hundred thousand King Penguins in the panorama. Count them if you wish, but do look for other things that are going on amid this multitude of birds.

This is something really not everyday pano. Here is not important only the size but the composition. I like it. Just go on.
