This penguin is unique to Snares Island in the New Zealand Sub-Antarctic. This area of the world is known as the Galapagos of the South, because each small island is home to a unique sub-species of penguin. So, although there are a number of types of crested penguin, the Snares Crested Penguin is only found on this Island and it differs slightly from crested penguins on nearby islands.
