Gentoo Penguins, Saunders Island, Falkland Islands

These three gentoo penguins were making their way from the ocean, across an open marshland, and on back to their colony. One at a time they took this small leap — considering it for a few seconds (as penguins do) before forging ahead. Photographed on Saunders Island in the Falkland Islands. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 400, f/6.3 at 1/1600th of a second.
