These are Magellanic Penguins which nest
in
burrows in the ground away from the sea.
This is a colony of
Gentoo
Penguins. There are dozens of these colonies of varying
size on every island we visited.
These are King Penguins, the largest and
least in number on the islands.
LOOK AT THAT FACE! This is a young
Elephant Seal which are very prevalent on the
islands.
This is a
Rockhopper Penguin (our favorite). This game little bird
survives the roughest seas dashing them against the rocks
upon which they leap out and hop from rock to rock to the
top of the cliff (some over 1,000 feet) where they
nest.
Each little black dot in the water is a penguin!
This photo shows how rough the water is.
