South Georgia, Falklands, Antarctica 2013-2014

These penguins were very far away, but one of the expedition leaders managed to spot a king penguin (the one with yellow markings) in the midst of hundreds of gentoos. Amazingly, when we zoomed into our photos, we could see an egg on the king's feet. For whatever reason (possibly poor navigation or overcrowding), this king and it's mate had strayed far from their breeding colony to nest amongst the gentoos.
