Animals of South Georgia Day
You observe the distinctive king penguins, elephant seals, and Antarctic fur seals that inhabit South Georgia's sub-Antarctic shores. You find that no permanent human residents live on South Georgia, so domestic pets are absent from the territory. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
