King Penguins

... and more seals!

We moved the ship another thirty miles to a colony of over 250,000 king penguins (plus untold numbers of fur seals). This would have been spectacular, but when we landed we were met with 50-knot winds so powerful it was hard to stand up, let alone hold a camera still. Nonetheless, we soldiered on for about an hour before the captain called us back to the ship as the wind kept increasing.

A glacier of penguins!

"I got an itch."

"Whadda ya lookin' at?!"
