Iceberg with Chinstrap Penguins
February 13th, 2010 at 11:40 pm (AST) by Jake RichterAs we approached the second iceberg of the day, we discovered it had a colony of chinstrap penguins on it. The boat’s motor intimidated them a bit and caused them to waddle further inland.

Our second iceberg turned out to have a group of chinstrap penguins on top of it - look for the tiny black specks

We saw some of the chinstrap penguins near the edge, and hoped they would jump - they didn't, alas
After we finished our circuit of the iceberg, we heard a sound like a gunshot and saw a large piece break off an fall into the water.
