Nearest stations
Great-circle distance. Antarctic logistics run on proximity — these are the neighbours a station shares weather, flights and emergencies with.
Nearest penguin colonies
Known breeding sites within reach. Locations only — no counts. Estimating colony size from satellite imagery does not yet work, so this site publishes no abundance figures.
