Antarctica - Cuverville Island

Next stop was Cuverville Island. Sooooo many penguins! Cuverville is home to a very large colony of gentoo penguins. I zoomed in as far as I could with my 500mm but left most of the pictures uncropped to keep the sheer number of penguins obvious. They were all over the rocks and in some very surprising places that must have made quite the "commute" to get to the ocean for "groceries." It was an impressive sight and we spent about an hour here watching the penguins go to and fro.もっと詳しく
