Posing Penguins

I sat down on the beach at St Andrews on South Georgia to admire the view, and I was immediately surrounded by curious King Penguins. They posed beautifully against the mountain backdrop and showed no fear or concern whatsoever about my presence. They are the second largest penguin after Emperor, and stand 70-100cm tall, which put them at about my eye level while I was sitting. Both sexes are alike so I'm not sure what sex these are.
