Rockhopper Penguins Showing Affection to Each Other

Sea Lion Island, Falkland Islands

This is a crested penguin species, rockhopper penguins. They literally show that they earn that name. The penguin and imperial shag colonies are on the other side of the island that is not accessible to us. So, we landed on the opposite site and had to hike 3.5 miles (more than 5km) to go the colonies.
