Two Types

of Antarctica Penguins

Kings and Gentoos

Coming by ship is about the only way to visit these amazing animals in their wild, native habitat. Even so, only a few ships actually make Antarctica Peninsula landings like this...
That is probably why most of the wildlife do not fear humans.

Great image Liz, what a thrill it must have been to see this crowd with there tuxedos on.
Like the inclusion of the vessel passing by.
