Gentoo PenguinsA Gentoo penguin on the same island. Gentoo penguins were
probably the most widely spread penguin species - seeming to cover every
square metre of ground that was not snow or ice. What appears to be a
treestump in this photo is, in fact a whale vertibra. |

Macaroni Penguin.We only saw one Macaroni. They are generally found further north. |
 |
Chinstrap Penguins.The second most common species after the Gentoo. |
 |
Adelie Penguins.We saw one colony of Adelie penguins, and that was dwindling in number, being replaced by Gentoos. |
 |
Species UnknownOn closer inspection, this turned out not to be a real penguin. |
