King George Island
Named after King George III, King George Island is recognized as the largest of the South Shetland Islands. It is surrounded by three major bays, including Admiralty Bay, which is a protected area for seabird breeding colonies. The surface of King George Island is nearly all ice and glaciers, but a small portion of the land acts as permanent bases for nations such as Chile to conduct research. During the summer months, visitors will find the inhabitants typically associated with Antarctica: Weddell and Leopard seals, Gentoo and Chinstrap Penguins, and various other seabirds.
