Penguins!!!

One of the highlights of our trip was seeing penguins up close and personal!

These are King penguins at Volunteer Point, Falkland Islands / Malvinas. They breed here, so we saw lots of baby penguins.

 These are Gentoo penguins, also at Volunteer Point. They swim up to 200 kilometres to get food for their young.

And these are Magellanic penguins at the Punta Tombo Penguin Rookery, just outside of Puerto Madryn, Argentina. It was pretty remarkable to see so many penguins at once. They were literally everywhere!
