St Andrews Bay, South Georgia

Saint Andrews Bay is a bight 2 miles (3.2 km) wide, indenting the north coast of South Georgia immediately south of Mount Skittle.

Probably first sighted by the British expedition under Cook which explored the north coast of South Georgia in 1775.

King penguins form huge breeding colonies, and the one at St Andrews Bay has over 150,000 birds and is (2021) probably the largest in the world.

Because of the long breeding cycle, colonies are continuously occupied.
