Sea Lion Island: More Gentoo penguins - this time mixed with a couple of Magellanic penguins - to pause in the wet sand before hurriedly entering the surf. #falklandislands #sealionisland #gentoopenguins #magellanicpenguin #surflife (at Sea Lion Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4xG3N7nQSK/?igshid=1wxdo1ddl6l0e

Sea Lion Island: Gentoo penguins make a run for the ocean! Just loved seeing them on the white sand beach and sunshine. The conditions allowed for brief reflections in the wet sand - before disappearing into the sea. Yes, more penguins to come. I’m back to share my favorite photos from a visit to the Falkland Islands in November/December 2018.

Fast and Furious C7A5768 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: Gentoo penguins aren’t known for their size, but they are known for their speed. These medium sized penguins are not only the fastest swimming penguins in the world, they’re actually the fastest swimming “birds” in the world. They are also extremely tolerant, amicable, and distinctively curious. When laying on the sand, it wasn’t unusual to have one or two run fast and furiously up to me to investigate what I was up to.
