Antarctica -- October-November 2010

Near Punta Arenas, Chile. This is at a nature preserve on Seno Otway, or Otway Sound. Took an extra-cost excurion from the ship out to this place to see about 35 penguins (the first ones we had seen) and some other wildlife. The excursion was fully booked with people from the ship. It was OK, but paying to see those 35-or-so penguins seemed pretty silly when we say a literal mountain of Magellanic Penguins the next day.
