Aptenodytes forsteri - unable to visit McMurdo Station, we moved across the sound to a new parking spot and attracted a crowd of the locals.

Aptenodytes forsteri - it is fun to watch them pop out of the water this way.

Landings far from the ship required a survival tent & provisions in case the weather turned bad.
