Following on from Balancing on the Edge of the World - I did my own visit to the very edges of the world in January on my visit to Antarctica. Time to share a few penguins...
These are gentoo penguins, who build nests of small stones. This was taken right by the Chilean base Gonzales Videla, in Paradise Bay on the Antarctic mainland. HERE.
The base is a protected site, as is everything within thousands of miles. Penguins nest right up to the walls of the canteen.

Ok, we all love a cute penguin parent and offspring, but look at the background of that top pic... beautiful sculpted ice. Breath taken away!
