Happy World Penguin Day!

April 25th is known as World Penguin Day, so for this #wildlifewednesday image I’ve chosen one of my favourite penguin pictures from my travels to Antarctica.

This little guy was photographed near the shore at Deception Island, a popular stop for visitors to the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula. I found the Gentoo Penguins to be the most ‘friendly’ of the penguins in Antarctica. Chinstrap Penguins had a strangely evil look to them and I thought that Adelie Penguins had some sort of superiority complex about them.

Perhaps that sounds crazy, but if you spent much time with penguins you’d probably go slightly crazy too…!

  1. International penguin day?! How is this NOT a global holiday?? Super cute picture! I’ve always thought the penguins with the yellow tufts looked a little shifty…
