Nesting Cormorants

I took this picture on my trip to Argentina. We had gone all the way to the end of the world (at least that's what they call, "Fin del Mundo"). It was a town called Ushaiua in Patagonia, which is the last large settlment before you leave for Antartica.

 

While there, we took a boat trip to go see some penguins by travelling down the Beagle Channel. But on the way we passed several large rocks sticking out of the water. On these rocks was a mixture of Cormorants and Sea Lions I guess it was nesting time and we got to see them in pairs. It was a very cool thing to see. If not a little bit strong to the nose.
