South Georgia Pipit
The South Georgia pipit is the only songbird in the Antarctic region proper and the most southern-breeding of all 6,500+ passerine species. It survives the island’s extreme winds and freezing temperatures by sheltering in stands of tussac grass. However, it was nearly wiped out by a rodent infestation.
