Remembering an Antarctic Penguin Colony...

A picturesque colony of Gentoo Penguins on Petermann Island, off the coast of Antarctica. I took this during a wonderful 2015 visit.

 

It's awesome to see Antarctic penguins in-person. However, the colonies are unexpectedly smelly, and you quickly learn to be wary of penguin backsides (the long white streaks on the rock illustrate the distance they can spontaneously expel "digestive byproducts")
