Here are more photos that have spilled over to yet another blog entry from my epic journey through Antarctica. Just so you know, I took about 2000 photos in total on my expedition. So to narrow them down to about 140 photos, was not an easy task. When there were so many photo-ops with the wildlife and landscape, it is a rather difficult undertaking to edit to the best ones to tell my story, and to... Read Full Entry

Peterman Island had the only Adelie Penguin colonies that we were able to see. The Gentoo Penguins also populated this island, often hanging out with the Adelies.

Work it, baby!

The black and white of the cormorants and peguins, often blended in. Once you started to watch them all, then you could see the different species of birds.

I´m mad!

Skua

These birds often hung out near the penguin chicks, hoping to get a predatory opportunity to fill their tummies.

Old enough to be left by the parents, these juvenille Gentoo Penguins would ¨cresh¨together to make it harder for the skua to attack them. They creshed for security and warmth.

One of the best things I ever did was to be a part of your site! I truly enjoy your "wandering's". Recently I shared with my wife about your site and your awesome first hand pictures. She is a first grade teacher and asked me to forward your postings to her school email, as she would like to share them with her students when they are studying specific animals and climates. Not necessarily being a whiz on a computer, I wouldn't even begin to know how to forward even if you allowed it. If you would, could you please send me a URL or something else I can give her, so she too can receive your blogs and posts. I'd deeply appreciate it. Donnie L, White
