In Godthul, your heart will skip a beat as you encounter a close-up of juvenile elephant seals basking lazily under the sun. Their innocent eyes and playful demeanor are simply enchanting. But it is the sight of King penguins marching majestically towards the sea that truly takes your breath away. Like an army on a mission, they waddle with purpose, ready to cleanse their feathers in the cool waters. St. Andrews Bay becomes their stage, where thousands upon thousands gather in harmony.
