A captivating wildlife encounter on the shores of South Georgia Island, where a wet Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella) sits upright on green grass with its distinctive pink tongue slightly visible. In the background, a King penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) stands in profile, showcasing its classic black and white plumage and distinctive orange-yellow ear patches. The tranquil water behind them creates a perfect natural backdrop for this remarkable coexistence of Southern Ocean species. This image beautifully captures the diverse marine wildlife that inhabits the subantarctic ecosystem, where these species often share the same coastal habitats during breeding season.
