I love that penguins are so round, when they lie on their bellies they're not totally flat :')))

Antarctica!!!

Here are some photos from the snowy first morning after two days crossing the rough Drake Passage when we visited Port Lockroy to see gentoo penguins and mail postcards from the most southerly post office in the world. The mail may or may not arrive in a year or so after traveling from the Antarctic Peninsula to the Falkland Islands then the UK then wherever they are supposed to go. Port Lockroy was a British research station until 1962.
