Icebergs and penguins

Pleneau island in Antarctica peninsula is home of a big gentoo penguins colony where penguins chicks are no more than three weeks old. The adults have to look after them very closely as skuas don't hesitate to prowl for food.
The main interest of Pleneau island is that the bay is full of icebergs, probably driven by the stream. While cruising in the zodiac we feel like we are in an iceberg cemetery where navigation is dangerous because of the enormous packs of ice and snow.
