Quite the mountaineers

Chinstraps have got to be one of my favourite penguin species here on the Antarctic peninsula for a few reasons. One reason is their feisty attitude, which is somewhat similar to a honey badger - Chinstraps don't give a f&%k! This makes them hilarious to interact with, as they have zero problems coming right up to you whilst you are on shore and investigating you. Another big reason is their ability to hike up steep mountains sometimes twice a day to go in-between their nests and foraging in the coastal waters.

Watching these feisty and adorable animals waddle and jump their way up and down steep rocky outcrops is beyond hilarious and mesmerizing. It always means for an amazing photo opportunity, as most things do when you find yourself exploring this remote region of the planet
