Post #30

In the afternoon I was able to take a walk among the penguins on Penguin Island. What a heart-expanding hour!

First we walked near the Gentoo penguins that had migrated from Antarctica. It is believed they followed a ship for the 36-hour crossing. There are about 80 of this type on the island. They construct their nests out of pebbles.

Then we walked past a large colony of sea lions, all crammed together, nipping and bellowing and flopping around. We stayed safely on the trail.
