Antarctica Penguins
Antarctica Penguins Here I Come!
A couple of years ago, I watched March of the Penguins. For a very long time, penguins have been well thought of in our family. First, it was known that penguins mate for life, so Mom and Dad always liked them. Actually, it does not appear that Emperor Penguins mate for life, however, perhaps others do. Emporers suffer quite a bit in order to mate, and the man has it really rough in the winter, holding an egg on his toes, during numerous winter storms. An inflatable penguin gift got passed around for a few years amongst family members. It always made for a good joke. I always got a kick out of watching penguins, wherever I was.
A year ago I saw An Inconvenient Truth and Emporers of the Ice, and became very interested in going to Antarctica to see the penguins, and to discuss climate change from personal experience.
In just a week, I’ll be in Argentina. From there, I leave for Antarctica, and the penguins will be hopefully part of our naturalist photography journey. I’m very excited about seeing penguins, and taking live photos of them, as well as some video to post to Flickr, and YouTube.
I’ve read today in our paper that the diesel oil leaking from the sunk Explorer might affect 2,500 Adelie penguins heading back to their mating spot. Weather in the area has made it difficult to contain.
The Explorer ship sunk approximately 4,000 plus feet to the ocean’s floor.
