Adopt a Penguin

Over 1,000 gentoo penguins made their home with us at Port Lockroy over 30 years ago and we have been studying and contributing to their protection ever since. Adopting A Penguin with UKAHT will help protect the gentoos and their home on the Peninsula. 

As part of this 12-month adoption, you will receive a welcome pack including an adoption certificate, fact booklet and welcome pack, gentoo cuddly toy, gentoo updates from Port Lockroy and a gentoo postcard sent from Antarctica. Adoptions also make the perfect gift. 

By choosing to Adopt a Penguin with UKAHT, you will support the monitoring of the colony and conservation on site at Port Lockroy. With your help, we can protect areas of the Island from human interaction and continue studying the breeding success of the gentoos every year. As a charity we are dependent on donations and every gift, adoption and membership helps to support our activity both in Antarctica and around the world.
