Penguin Power

South Georgia is one amazing island that you all must try to get to, if you don’t mind four days in rough seas on a boat that is!!! But it is truly worth it….

This image was taken at a place called “Salisbury Plain”, where there are approximately 250 000 penguins! The sound as you come over the hill is tremendous, not to mention the smell!!

Nearly forgot to say that they are king penguins.

(South Georgia – on an Antarctic trip)

    Absolutely stunning! How I would love to visit and see this for myself, my daughter too as Penguins are her ultimate favorite.

    I would put up with many discomforts to see a sight like this. What a wonderful job you did, fabulous dof and pov. My eye is transfixed looking at the many adults and young, seeing the ones that are calling and enjoying the textures in their coats.
