King penguins breed on subantarctic islands between 45 and 55°S, at the northern reaches of Antarctica, as well as Tierra del Fuego, the Falkland Islands, and other temperate islands of the region. Their total population is estimated to be more than 2 million pairs and is increasing. Here, more than 100,000 of them nest in at Salisbury Plain on South Georgia Island in Antarctica. King penguin colonies are continuously occupied year-round with both adult birds and chicks.
