PENGUINS! On the Antarctic peninsula, we were treated to waves of #Gentoos, a gorgeous, laid back variety whose name may be a derivation of "gentle". They are less aggressive than Chinstraps and Adélies and didn't seem to mind our scrutiny. #VagabondAdventure #Antarctica
Fingers crossed the weather behaves for the cruise ship tomorrow, am driving to the marvelous Murrell farm #kidneycove

When you put your camera bag down..the local residents pop over to inspect it...#gentoos
23/28 - Kerguelen/eastern #gentoos (Pygoscelis taeniata) are small gentoo #penguins are now being more commonly regarded as a distinct species. Their range includes Marion Island - so these might actually be #SouthAfrican gentoos! 🇿🇦
22/28 - Southern #gentoos (Pygoscelis ellsworthii) live exclusively on the coast of #Antarctica. They look virtually identical to their non-Antarctic counterparts, but are significantly smaller - a possible adaptation to food scarcity in the colder Antarctic waters.
20.5/28 - Quick note: You might be asking "where are #gentoos?" We'll get to them, but thought we'd mention that there's still some uncertainty over their species/subspecies division status.
Today’s #PenguinOlympics event is the freestyle swim. It might be the white racing stripe across their eye that makes the #gentoos the fastest swimmers of all the penguins. Gentoos took first place with a record swim of 22 mph.

Few things say Antarctica better than gentoos. At least, according to the #gentoos.
