Gentoo penguin photo of the day at Petermann Island

in #animalphotography • 7 years ago

The Gentoo penguins were in force along the landing sites on Petermann Island today on March 6, 2018. This forced us to alter our landing area to a very difficult terrain that made for a lot of fun to beach the zodiacs up onto rock shoreline.

The awesome thing due to this the penguins were very photogenic along this shoreline. I was really happy with this little guy who looked like he was a little bit cold standing on a rock working up the courage to jump into the ocean.

    Thomas, this penguin seems to be brave and seems to have a defiant attitude, very similar to a human being. Congratulations'for this photograph!
