Both this and the next species are very common, although this doesn't make them any easier
to photograph. As the name suggests, this species breeds on South Georgia, and also Indian Ocean islands such as Heard, Marion, Crozet and
Kerguelen. There is an isolated population on Codfish (Whenua Hou) Island, off Stewart Island, NZ, this has attracted the attention of taxonomists
who have suggested it as a new species, but this is not yet universally accepted.
