Penguinos

 

We sailed all night through the Magellan Straights and arrived at Magdalena Island in the morning.

Magdalena Island is a rookery for the Magellianic Penguin.  There are one hundred sixty thousand on a small island that you can walk around in an hour. There are penguins everywhere

The penguins dig holes in the ground to nest.  You’ll walk by a hole and the dirt will be flying.

The penguins go about their business ignoring the people walking around

Doing what ever it is that penguins do.  It pretty much seemed like standing around was their main activity
