Royal Penguin Colony
- Macquarie Island
This Royal Penguin colony is at Sandy Bay on Macquarie
Island (Macquarie Island is home to about 3 million
Royal penguins), amid hummocky grass about 100m inland and
50m above sea level up a steep slope. It is both noisy and
smelly, and is reached (by humans) via flights of wooden
steps and a boardwalk from the beach, which is the preserve
of the king penguin colonies and the elephant seals. The
royals therefore have to 'run the gauntlet' in getting to
and from the water across the beach and up onto the grassy
escarpment.
