We were surrounded by hundreds of penguins, from all sides. A group of researchers shared this bit of land in Paradise Harbor with these disheveled and gentle little penguins. Many waddled about very purposefully in every direction. Some of them stood atop rocky outcroppings watching the red-parka'd interlopers who were smiling, pointing, and taking photos. Many of the penguin parents had already left their chicks on their own - expecting that they would be able to fend for themselves. Some of these "kids" were still living in denial of this situation. They eat krill at this stage, and the chicks are used the parents regurgitating it into their mouths.Brand Wallet
Many of these penguins were also going through different stages of molting. The majority of their baby coats had been replaced by feathers. But, some gray down still stayed on hard to reach places. They looked like they were wearing hats and earmuffs, or had gotten a really bad hair cut. We made our way back to the ship through chunks of floating ice in the beautiful bay. Upon one such jagged, little mountain of ice that our driver took us past rested a lone majestic seal. As we passed by he gave a long, pink-tongued yawn as if to say that he didn't care what we were up to and that our business was probably unimportant anyhow.Brand Sunglasses
Penguins are always so very charming. Penguins and their waddle belies their gawky nature. The formal look of their feathers combined with the orange webbed feet Having more rocks than dirt, this area allowed the penguins to stay more clean. They appear to have chubby cheeks due to the black line beneath their chins. This gives them a jaunty air to their whole look and ambience.
