comments,

• When Captain Cook set foot on this island in 1775 he promptly named it in honour of King George III.""But by the look of it there is only one ‘king\ here
• There are an estimated 2.23 million pairs of King Penguins here.""This means plenty more amazing images
• Penguins huddle together like this to keep themselves safe and warm but there is one kind that have another method to stay toasty.""Did you know penguins could fly?
• You might think it seems a little daft but a penguin is actually the Colonel-in-Chief of the Norwegian Royal Guard.""He lives in Scotland and even has a knighthood!
