Penguin Colony

---

After arriving in Chile we took a bus a few hours south to Punta Arenas in hopes of catching a glimpse of the Otway Sound Penguins before they migrated out of the area for the winter. Not much of interest occured during our stay. We came.... we saw... we took penguin photos.

Also, at this point in time we have already done another hike (ten days in total). We will be posting information on this most recent trip as soon as we have access to a faster internet connection to download photos (this computer has a download rate of 1 photo every 25 minutes). We hope all is well with everyone.

Standing Guard
We found this penguin in front of his burrow watching over his or her offspring. Penguin Facts... male and female penguins alternate every 2 to 3 days looking after their offspring. Males and females are also not distinguishable by outward physical appearance.

Same Penguin... but at a new and improved angle.
