Gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis papua) Highway

Danco Island, Antarctica

I took this image from a zodiac in the water showing the trails "highways" created by gentoo penguins as they traverse back and forth from the ocean to their nests to feed their young. Some of these trails reach very high elevations as gentoo penguins prefer to nest on snow free, rocky areas. I loved watching them go about their busy lives and politely passing each other en route to their final destinations. Also the beautiful and interesting patterns created in the snowy landscape.
