Magdelena Island (Isla Magdelena in Spanish). This is in the Strait of Magellan. Here some of their burrow/nests are more clearly visible.

Magellanic Penguins
This is looking uphill. The island is basically a mountain of penguins – and almost nothing else (there were about two sheds and a lighthouse at the high point of the island, in addition to the dock). Note essentially a total lack of vegetation. Not sure if the penguins somehow kill off the plant life, of if they chose it because of the lack of vegetation.
