Some cool penguin videos 🇦🇶

I wasn’t able to upload these on the ship so will try now that I have better cell service. This video was captured on Palaver Point on Two Hummock Island, Antarctica on Jan. 4, 2023. The Chinstrap chicks have started to hatch! You will see that the first Penguin has one chick and the second Penguin has two. Who is caring for these chicks? The mom and dad equally care for them, and that includes sitting on the egg.

More Chinstrap penguins on Two Hummock Island. They were a boisterous bunch! We maintained our 5 meter distance so I zoomed in. What’s more perfect than a video of super cute penguins? A video of super cute penguins when it’s snowing!❄️

1/4/2023 – An afternoon with the penguins 🇦🇶

What a picture perfect day in Antarctica. There were penguins, it was snowing, and there were Humpback whales in the bay! A postcard afternoon.

Wifi has been slow so going to keep this post brief and show you some of the boisterous and amazing penguins at Palaver Point on Two Hummock Island in Antarctica. Lots of Chinstrap colonies and rookeries with baby chicks (penguins)
