There are a few ways to visit Volunteer Point in the Falkland Islands. You can visit as part of a four-hour landing from a cruise ship. Or as a day trip from the capital of Staley. Or, if there’s room, you can stay at the Warden’s cottage for a few days. I chose the latter. Which meant that I could stay out as late as I wanted, and get up as early as I wanted. And be alone with the 1000 or so king penguins (not to mention the countless gentoo and Magellanic penguins). This photo of four kings marching along an inlet was taken at the tail end of the day, long after the cruise ship had departed and the last of the day trippers were back in Stanley. Without doubt, the best way to visit. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 35mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/320th of a second

Those penguins have their ducks in a row!

Yep. That’s what I saw too. While taking the photo.
Awesome! Penguins are the best 🙂
Thanks Amanda.
Such a beauty this photo motion of Penguins against color sky, just moving along no rush leaves you with a tranquil feeling

Wish I could go back and be there now, rather than this lower midtown office.
Is that a John Phillip Sousa march I hear in the background? Awesome shot.
Ha. Thanks Laura.
