This was our first step on the actual Antarctic continent. The Argentines have a base here called the Argentine Almirante Brown Station. There is a colony of Gentoo penguins here, easily recognized by their bright orange beaks. The birds were in the middle of a 3-4 week molt of all their feathers. On the cliffs were nests for a colony of Blue-eyed Shags. The icebergs were a beautiful color of blue. I can't believe how many Penguin pictures I took!
