There is a new colony of King Penguins establishing at Tierra del Fuego.
There is a new colony of King Penguins establishing at Tierra del Fuego, the only King Penguin Colony to be found outside the Sub-Antarctic islands.
King Penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus) are usually only found on the sub-antarctic islands, such as remote and difficult to access South Georgia and the Falkland Islands. Observing them in Tierra del Fuego, therefore, is a very unique opportunity!
Local elders in the region talk of a time long ago when there was a King Penguin Colony in Tierra Del Fuego and today, right at the same spot, a group of about 45 king penguins seem to be reestablishing themselves.
As soon as we heard about this colony we had to get and see for ourselves - and they they were, just as we head heard. Now we include a visit to the colony on all of our Wild Patagonia & Southern Explorer small group expeditions. The Penguins are there all year round so you have the chance to witness them in the natural habitat on any tour throughout the season.
