Penguins
We were absolutely amazed at
the variety of environments in which we found
penguins. As they get their food from the sea, they can live in
what
we consider to be very desolate, unhospitable surroundings like the dry
plains
near Puerto Madryn, Argentina. They also thrive on the steps of
Otway
Sound, Chile as well as the greener environments of the Falkland
Islands
and lush green of Ushuaia, Argentina. Had we been in these areas
a
month earlier, we would have seen tens of thousands of penguins.
However,
by March they were molting and most had already moved on to other
feeding
areas.
