Antarctica Penguin

This penguin is molting - an annual process that usually takes about 2 weeks during which they are forced to stay on land and unable to feed because during the molt they are no longer waterproof. But, never fear penguins gorge themselves beforehand and they have plenty of fat of which to live. on the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica Cruise
