Conditions are perfect for wildlife, penguins can be found across the islands, Elephant Seals patrol the beaches while large pods of Orca Whales can be seen offshore. Seabirds such as the Southern Giant Petrel and the Sooty Albatross can be found nesting on the islands, or circling high above searching for food.
