Penguins, Penguins and more Penguins

Land of the penguins. We have never before seen so many penguins.Thousands of them. We have found ourselves sitting on a rock just watching the way these cute little things interact. Different types and from all ages, the older ones down to the little chicks. Even one sitting on an egg. Sadly the little chicks that have recently hatched have no chance of survival. Hatching so late in the season means they are just not going to make it.

This little fellow is dying to get rid of his fur coat so he can go swimming too

Now we were given a briefing on the ship before we went ashore for the first time, and told in no way were we to go within 15 feet of the penguins, Fair enough, but problem is that nobody has given the penguins the same briefing
