Gentoo Penguins

Cuverville Island.

They are so cool.

We saw more Gentoo Penguins in Antarctica than any other kind (I say "Antarctica," since -- countng that island in the Starit of Magellan, inc Chile, we probably really saw more Magellanic Penguins than any other type). Surprisingly, the guidebooks claim there are fewer Gentoo Penguins there than the other two type we saw (Chinstrap and Adelie) -- and LOTS fewer (100,000s of thousands of Gentoos, versus millions of the other two).
