Visiting the king penguins of Macquarie Island

A UNESCO World Heritage site in the Pacific Ocean, Macquarie Island is one of the most fascinating places on earth, and a big reason is the king penguins.

As you can see in the video above, they’re fascinating creatures.

A scientific base is the only human population (although it is occasionally visited in local tours), so the island’s king penguins can do as they so wish.

To see them in their natural habitat check out the video above. We’re sure you’ll agree that they’re fascinating creatures. Have you ever seen penguins in the wild before? And if so, how did you find the experience? Share your stories in the comments!
