Sometimes you come across individuals who are truly inspiring, and would love to meet to hear their stories. Lucky for me, I was able to meet a true inspiration who shares my own views of getting out to explore our surroundings, and chat with him about all that he does. . @corytrepanier is a painter, filmmaker, and explorer who has a passion to explore the far reaches of our world. . I came across his work after my trip to the Yukon had me wanting to explore more the Canadian landscapes that we seldom see. . Over the last decade, Cory has travelled to, and painted a number of surreal landscapes that show us the raw beauty of the Canadian Arctic, all the while reminding us about how its landscapes are forever changing. . Creating vlogs along the way, he gave us a glimpse of where he went, the difficulties that lay in getting there, and how he went about looking for the right composition for his paintings. . Turn on the sound and swipe left for a video I made while visiting his gallery in Caledon, Ontario. Visit his Instagram and give him a follow if you want to be inspired, and see for yourself what he does. Better yet, go to his website at corytrepanier.com and watch his vlogs of his times in the arctic. . Video was filmed and edited on my iPhone using @lumatouch. .

At Gold Harbour, groups like these would be waddling along. They'd just stop right in front of you and chill, checking you out, just as much as we were doing them. It almost became so commonplace, you had to watch where you were stepping sometimes. If you had your camera stuck to your face for a while and started to walk to the next spot, sometimes they would be right in front of you without you knowing. Unless they were chirping or squawking a bit, they are actually quite quiet.

While I was taking my time lapse at Gold Harbour, individual King Penguins like this, would waddle their way up to me and my tripod. Not more than a few feet away, it would look at me, with a curious but puzzled look on its face, flapping its wings, shaking its tail feathers and singing me a tune. Maybe it was the click of my camera, firing every 10 seconds or that the tripod with a lens somewhat resembles a large penguin, but whatever it was, I was thoroughly enjoying being there, soaking in the raw and pure elements of the wildlife.

When you could find open space on the beachhead at St. Andrews Bay, not clogged up with elephant seals, you were greeted by gaggles of King Penguins like these, waddling along. Groups of ten to twenty would walk right up to you, look at you and then move on after realizing you aren’t a penguin. The largest colony of Kings in all of South Georgia at 300,000, for this 2 mile stretch of beach, they dotted the whole shoreline and then some. Go further inland and you are greeted by the bulk of the colony. Luckily we were there in November when it wasn’t the “hot” summer months. According to our expedition leaders, the smell of the penguin guano can get quite rank.

Most of the time, the King Penguins are usually in groups of ten to twenty or a colony of 150,000 to 500,000, waddling around like adorable little black and white tuxedos, with a colorful bouquet of flowers on top. So you get a lot of shots with loads and loads of them, all huddled together. Finding solo or one pair of the Kings like this was the challenge. Besides just these two, I love the setting of green, rugged hillside; rocks that could impede their journey, strewn here and there; the angle of the shot looking up at clouds with a barely perceptible mountain peaking through. It’s as if these two have been forging trails in the mountain wilderness, reached the top and now have a look of “Where in the hell are we George?” And look at poor Bob. Got the front of his suit all dirty.

I just love these little king penguin chicks. They are so the polar opposite in behavior compared to most of the adult kings, for it is just like what you would expect from a 2 year old human kid. Not only are they the loudest ones on this plain, squawking left and right as if “Look at me mom and dad!! Look what I can do!! I can flap my wings!!” to running around like crazed lunatics, amped up on sugar, again, like a 2 year old kid. Most of the adults, when a chick was doing something annoying or running into them, had this exasperated look on their faces like “Hey George, is this your kid? Can you tell him to knock it off?"
