An Adelie penguin colony

This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere. The dew is never all dried at once. A shower is forever falling; Vapour is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal sunset. Eternal dawn and glowing, on sea and continents and island. Each in its turn as the earth rolls. And for this I am forever grateful to be alive.

The adelie penguins are much smaller then the King penguins in South Georgia, but still very cute.
