We ask that our guests approach the Emperor penguin rookery at Atka Bay with utmost care, so as not to disturb their natural behaviours. Moving quietly and slowly is the best way to observe these magnificent creatures. This colony was the site of the first episode of 'Seven Worlds, One Planet' by Sir David Attenborough - here temperatures range from -20°C to -4°C during summer. These remarkable penguins live an average of 20 years, but some observations suggest it may be up to 50 years!
