Another landing was at Browns Bluff where, following a walk along some glacial moraine, we saw lots of newly born penguin chicks. Gotta love the babies. We were now proficient in distinguishing the various penguin species. There were Gentoo, what I would consider your classic stereotypical penguin. Then there were Adelie. These guys were present in huge numbers so it was funny to watch the group mentality. Finally, there were the Chinstrap penguins. These had the funniest appearance as they walked half hunched over and had distinctive heads characterised by the black chinstraps that encircled their faces.
