Magellanic Penguin - Punta Tombo, Patagonia, Argentina

The 3 kilometre long, 600 metre wide peninsula of Punta Tombo is covered with sand, clay and gravel. Between September and April, up to half a million Magellanic penguins come to this site to incubate their eggs, and prepare their offspring for migration - the largest such colony in South America.
