Penguins!!

Chinstrap penguins, Half Moon Island


Actually, it's hard to think or write the word 'penguin' without exuberant exclamation points. Without effort it just comes out as penguins!!! because they are so darn charming.

This rock outcropping on Half Moon Island is home to hundreds and hundreds of chinstrap penguins, barely distinguishable here against the snow-covered rocks.

 
And a few random Gentoo penguins in the mix at Half Moon Island.
Gentoo penguins at Neko Harbor.
A Gentoo at Mikkelson Harbor. He had so little to say, I didn't even press 'record.'


This poor little guy is molting, but a took a few minutes to check us out.


Not sure if the Gentoo or Andy won the staring contest.
