This name originates from Australia. It is part of the Australian Antarctic Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
A colony of emperor penguins located on the north-western side of the Shackleton Ice Shelf. Depending on fast ice conditions, the colony shifts its position, at times from the fast ice onto the top of the small grounded iceberg C-31B. It was first detected here by Peter Fretwell (BAS) in a satellite image taken in October 2009. Note: emperor penguin colonies may not remain in one fixed location.
