The king penguin is a large species of penguin, second only to the emperor penguin in size. King penguins eat small fish, mainly lanternfish, and squid. They are less reliant on krill and other crustaceans than most Southern Ocean predators. On foraging trips king penguins repeatedly dive to over 100 meters (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 meters (1,000 ft). King penguins breed on the subantarctic islands at the northern reaches of Antarctica, South Georgia, and other temperate islands of the region. King penguins do not live or breed in Westarctica.

-'''[[Cronenwett Island]]''' is a high, ice-covered island about 40 kilometers (20 nmi) long. It lies between Vollmer Island and Steventon Island in the [[Marshall Archipelago]], off the coast of [[Westarctica]]. The island was first observed and roughly delineated from aerial photographs taken by the [[Richard E. Byrd|Byrd Antarctic Expedition]], 1928–30. It was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Commander W.R. Cronenwett, [[U.S. Navy]], Photographic Officer for Deep Freeze II, 1956–57, and Public Information Officer for Task Group 43.1 during Deep Freeze 1962. The island is located in [[Sulzberger Bay]], and is divided by the 150° longitude line, meaning that half of the island is claimed by New Zealand as part of the [[Ross Dependency]] and the other half by Westarctica.
