In August, after months at sea, elephant seals arrive. They depend on this island for breeding. Macquarie will soon be heaving with 60,000 elephant seals, but they won't have the beaches to themselves. One month later, another wave of migrants appear in the surf. These are royal penguins, and they're about to have their first sighting of land in seven months. They've spent that time hunting for fish and shrimp in the open ocean. One last hurdle and they're back on terra firma. This island is actually the only solid ground these penguins will ever set foot on. Macquarie's nearest neighbour is more than 400 miles away, and in the opposite direction from their favourite feeding grounds.8月，在海上数月后，象海豹来了，它们需要岛来繁育。麦加利岛不久将承载6000只象海豹，但它们没有自己的海滩。1个月后 另一波迁徙者出现在浪花中，它们是皇家企鹅。这是它们7个月后首次在陆地露面。它们在开阔大海中靠捕食鱼虾来打发时间。它们回到陆地有个最后障碍，这些企鹅踏上的这个岛，实际上只是一个固体地面。麦加利岛最近的邻居在400多哩外，并在它们喜欢的觅食场的反方向。
