On board ship we attended lectures
about the various species and habitats of penguins |
These
are King Penguins with their chicks |
|
|

|
|

|
|
The largest number in this location are Gentoo
penguins |
|
|
The
strip of land along the water is called "the Penquin Highway"
At intervals they relocate from one
area to another
for reasons known only to the penguins |
|

It
is the end of the summer season in this part of the world but It
was very windy this morning |
|
One
penquin begins a march |
Then
there were two |
|
|
Three
Penguins |
Four! |
|
|
Suddenly
many are on the move - The March of the Penguins |

Magellanic
penguins also live here during the summer,
but they have already
left for their new location |
One
Magellanic penguin didn't leave with the others
(the all grey one with the black beak)
Now he is stuck here since he is molting
|
If
he wasn't molting, he would look like this |

We
took a break from penguin watching
|
Along
with traditional (very British) food,
there was a display of artifacts
of the 1982 war with Argentina |
|
|
One
last look at the terrain |
|
|
|
Look
at all our penguin pictures! |

|
Very
unusual markings on these cows |
Geese
are everywhere |
|
|
This
variety of cow is called "Belted Galloways"
