What is the name of the penguin colony on the Falkland Islands famous for mixed species?

Volunteer Point is the Falkland Islands site famous for colonies of several penguin species.

The location lies on East Falkland and is particularly known for its king penguin colony. Gentoo penguins also breed there, making the site an important wildlife destination and one of the best-known places to see both species in the Falklands.

Volunteer Point is named after HMS Volunteer, a vessel associated with the area’s historical naming. The site is remote, and access generally involves a long journey over rough terrain from Stanley.

It is important not to confuse Volunteer Point with South Georgia’s St Andrews Bay, another famous king penguin location. Volunteer Point is in the Falkland Islands, while St Andrews Bay is on South Georgia. The two sites are often mentioned together in travel and wildlife writing because both offer views of large king penguin colonies.
