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.

-The '''[[Bear Peninsula]]''' (74°35′S 111°00′W) is a peninsula about 80&nbsp;km (50&nbsp;mi) long and 40&nbsp;km (25&nbsp;mi) wide which is [[ice]] covered except for several isolated rock bluffs and outcrops along its margins, lying 48&nbsp;km 30&nbsp;mi) east of [[Martin Peninsula]] on the [[Walgreen Coast]] of [[Westarctica]].
+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]].
-The peninsula was first delineated from aerial photographs taken by [[U.S. Navy]] Operation Highjump in January 1947, and was named after the ice-ship USS ''Bear'', flagship of the U.S. [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] Service, from which three reconnaissance flights were made in late February 1940, resulting in the discovery of the [[Walgreen Coast]] (with probable sighting of this feature) and the [[Thurston Island]] area.
-This ship, under the name ''Bear of Oakland'', also served as flagship of Admiral [[Richard E. Byrd]] from 1933-35.
