I recently returned from an incredible trip to Antarctica and I need everyone to look at my penguin photos.

@geekmomprojects Ohhh poor fella! But it's a cool looking Orca. great pic, btw.

Since people seem to like the penguins, I have to post this photo, which somebody else on my ship took. I think it belongs in National Geographic. We saw two orcas chasing a poor penguin which darted underneath our ship multiple times to try to escape. Zoom in on the penguin's face to see its expression.

@gblues Someone pointed out that how you feel about the photo depends on whether you are watching a penguin documentary or an orca documentary.

@CleoQc It was a lucky coincidence. In early December I was at lunch with some girlfriends and one was talking about how she felt sad because the Antarctic trip she'd been invited to go on with a different friend got canceled because the company went bankrupt, and her friend wasn't able to reschedule. I said "that sounds amazing" and we made a plan then and there and 6 weeks later we were in Antarctica!

@consumablejoy I have literally hundreds of them, which could be a bit overwhelming, but here are a couple more:

@geekmomprojects very important question - how do I end up in the Antarctic to take pictures of penguins?

@geekmomprojects
Penguin askew is fantastic!
Made my day with that pic. Thank you.

@tired_panda Good question. As far as I know, you either have to book a vacation as a tourist or become a scientist and get lucky with your research. Though I suspect that part of the reason is such a wonderful place to be is that there are so few people down there at any given time
