Really fantastic pics from Antarctica of King Penguin chicks. A clear indicator that we have been here almost a full year now, the king penguins have gone full circle and a new batch of chicks has been born on the island, ready to keep the next group of expeditioners company over winter. They really are the ugly ducklings of the penguin world. Check out the story and pics here: http://www.antarctica.gov.au/living-and-working/stations/macquarie-island/this-week-at-macquarie-island/2017/this-week-at-macquarie-island-3-march-2017 Photo Credit: A king penguin chick with its parent at Gadget Gully.
