'''[[Cadenazzi Rock]]''' is a rock outcrop 1.5 nautical miles (3 km) east of Roper Point on the west slope of [[Mount Takahe]] in [[Westarctica]].
The '''[[king penguin]]''' (''Aptenodytes patagonicus'') is a large species of [[penguin]], second only to the [[emperor penguin]] in size. There are two subspecies: ''A. p. patagonicus'' and ''A. p. halli''; ''patagonicus'' is found in the South Atlantic and halli found at the Kerguelen Islands and Crozet Island, Prince Edward Islands, Heard Island and McDonald Islands, and Macquarie Island.


Cadenazzi Rock was mapped by the United States Geological Survey and from [[U.S. Navy]] tricamera aerial photos taken during the years 1959–66. It was named by the Advisory Committee on [[Antarctic]] Names for Lieutenant Michael P. Cadenazzi, a U.S. Navy LH-34 helicopter commander. He flew close support missions for United States Antarctic Research Program scientists during the 1969–70 and 1970–71 seasons.
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 metres (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]].


On 2 November 2018, during the [[Chiefs of Mission Meeting]] in Berlin, Germany, the [[Peerage of Westarctica|peerage title]] Baroness of Cadenazzi was bestowed upon Larissa Königs, a reporter for the German tabloid ''Bild'' in recognition of her support of [[Westarctica]] as well as her talent as a journalist.
American zoologist Gerry Kooyman revolutionized the study of penguin foraging behavior in 1971 when he published his results from attaching automatic dive-recording devices to emperor penguins, and recording a dive of 235 meters (771 ft) by a king penguin in 1982.
