Penguins in Action!



You simply must watch, and listen, to this short video! The cacophony is my term for it! The sounds of 500,000 King Penguins - that would be 200,000 pair with chicks - is a sound like nothing you have ever heard before. It is, at once, thrilling and invasive!

The little brown guys are the chicks, and all the others are parents.


We gained an incredible respect for these hardy little guys. They survive and thrive in an environment in which we, as humans, could easily perish!
