More Penguins - Brown's Bluff

A Gentoo penguin
La la (or her more formal Lauren) tried to sit still to get this Adelie penguin to come up to her. Unfortunately, it did not.
Abby and Courtney also tried the sitting still technique. It was hard for Courtney . . .
Graci McGillcuddy was nice enough to take a picture of us with this rookery of over 200,000 penguins. Most were Adelie penguins but we did spot some Gentoo and even a lost Chinstrap.





The rookery was huge and little Dallas reminded us that it didn't smell so nice!

What an adventure! I love the iceberg shots. How'd you get the one that looks like you took it from above? Does The World have a helicopter?

Anicka would like to request that if you see any penguins with "Happy Feet" that you take lots of pictures. Video also, so she can practice her penguin dance moves.

Actually, her real preference would be if you find a happy feet penguin just bring it back for her so she can keep it in her room!

Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.
