Hercules Bay is a small sheltered bay on the North coast of South Georgia. Its inhabitants consist mainly of macaroni penguins, and fur and elephant seals.
The rocky and slippery coast poses some difficultes, even though the animals are quite adept at climbing it.
The macaroni penguins are distinguished by the yellow feathered crest on their heads. Evidently this resembles men’s hats from the 18th century thus called.
The nests are higher up on the cliffs and the parents take turns to fetch food.
There are plenty of fur seal pups playing in the narrow areas of shallow water by the small beaches.
