Gentoo penguin photo of the day at Petermann Island

in animalphotography •  7 years ago 

The Gentoo penguins were in force along the landing sites on Petermann Island today on March 6, 2018. This forced us to alter our landing area to a very difficult terrain that made for a lot of fun to beach the zodiacs up onto rock shoreline.

The awesome thing due to this the penguins were very photogenic along this shoreline. I was really happy with this little guy who looked like he was a little bit cold standing on a rock working up the courage to jump into the ocean.

hello that nice picture of penguin, excellent post @thomasjmitchell :)

I love this picture of the penguin. Thank you for sharing it.

Awesome

It looks like the same penguin species in the movie 'Happy Feet'. Hahaha. So cute. I think Gentoo penguins are the fastest swimming penguins.

So cute!
