- •
Examination of the foraging behaviour of king penguins at the Kerguelen Plateau.
- •
Analysis of penguin behaviour combined with oceanography at the surface and at depth.
- •
Penguins foraged in a cold-water flow interacting with the Kerguelen Plateau.
- •
Surface and diving movements were directed into bathymetry-related oceanographic features.
- •
This behaviour has not been observed in other king penguin breeding locations.
