On a zodiac cruise near Pleneau Island, it felt like an Antarctic wonderland. Exquisite shaped icebergs floated all around, crab-eater seals lazed on floating sea-ice and a group of Adelie penguins were swimming about. Alongside sailed these Antarctic shags moving in perfect synchronized movements around the icebergs. It was as if one of them was the conductor of the symphony that they put up for our benefit.
This Adelie penguin was enjoying a zen moment on floating sea ice when our zodiac passed by. While running it stopped for a brief moment, craning it's neck to see if the zodiac and its occupants were still around.
