What do you do to protect wildlife?

A number of areas containing penguin and bird breeding sites are protected and entry is only by permit.

Expeditioners are educated to recognise signs of wildlife disturbance and are provided with approach guidelines. We recommend that photographers equip themselves with telephoto lenses for that special 'close-up' image! Penguins are curious creatures and sometimes approach humans, as you can see in this photograph!
