Adelie and emperor penguin colonies were surveyed in the south-western part of the Mt. Riiser-Larsen area, Amundsen Bay (66°47'S, 50°33'E) on 17 December 1996 by JARE-38. A total of 877 pairs of Adelie penguins were located nesting on a moraine field; most were incubating and some eggs had started hatching. The emperor penguin colony was on a frozen pond in ice-free area. There were 25 adults (including 3 molting birds), 2 immatures and 250 chicks in a creche.
