This name originates from Australia. It is part of the Australian Antarctic Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
This emperor penguin colony is one of the first two breeding sites ever encountered, but it was not recognized as such. Both adults and chicks were sighted several times during the First German South Polar Expedition in 1902. Expeditioners from the Soviet Union sighted a colony in Posadowsky Bay several times in the 1960s. The colony was spotted in a satellite image in 2014. Note: emperor penguin colonies may not remain in one fixed location.
