The White Continent At Last!

A perfect 50 degree day for our first landfall on the continent of Antarctica.

"Miami with penguins"!

More hot penguin action!


This video documents my "Close Encounter of the Gentoo Penguin Kind" on Cuverville Island off the coast of Antarctica. Cate was sitting this excursion out back at the ship so it was up to me to face the mighty Gentoo Penguin all on my own.
Armed only with my Flip video camera and nerves of steel, I was able to capture this rare footage of the wily Gentoo Penguin. Enjoy:
