Penguins!

I can't talk about Antarctica without mentioning penguins.  They are the cutest little guys I have ever seen.  I can watch them for hours because they waddle around and slide on the ice.  They are pretty vocal making their squawks and cute little noises.  These are adelie penguins, which are really playful.  The emperors are the only other penguins here by the Ross Sea, but I haven't seen them yet this season.
