The Imperial Shag, Phalacrocorax atriceps bransfieldensis, formerly Antarctic Shag, is a cormorant native to many islands of the Southern Hemisphere. It is sometimes separated in the genus Leucocarbo. It is also known as the Blue-eyed Shag and by many other names (11 just for the South American race), and is one of a larger group of cormorants called blue-eyed shags.
This species is found on the coasts of southern Chile and Argentina, on the Antarctic Peninsula, and on many islands in the Southern Hemisphere, including the Falklands, South Georgia, Heard Island and Macquarie Island.
