Visiting the Emperor Penguins at Atka Bay is a rare privilege and with that comes a responsibility to respect both the animals and their habitat. Emperor penguins rely on fast ice as a stable platform for their breeding season. Female Emperors lay their eggs and the males incubate them for about two and a half months before the young chicks hatch. In order to ensure that we have as little impact on these magnificent birds and their pristine surroundings as possible, White Desert strictly adheres to the iaato_org guidelines regarding wildlife viewing.
