Chinstrap Penguin

Petermann Island.

I'm pretty sure this is from Petermann Island. These are among the very few chinstraps that I saw (not being able to visit the colony at Baily Head on Deception Island due to bad weather). If this is indeed from Petermann Island, my memory is there were only two of them there (in the area that had a mixture of birds). If there indeed were only two, the third penguin in the back is a different type (proabaly an Adele).
