King Penguins - Incoming
The 'rocks' in the background are Southern Elephant Seals - very big animals. Later in the trip I was photography baby fur seals when I heard a noise, turned around, and here was one of the behemoths on a small hill (maybe 15 feet) behind me, ready to come down a path, and I was right in the way. I stepped aside and the seal slid down the bank right past me.
This is a macaroni penguin - named for 'put a feather in his cap, and called it macaroni'. I forgot I saw them on South Georgia, thinking my only view of them was in the darkness prior to South Georgia (and no decent picture).
