| Gorgeous Emperor penguin tobogganing along on its belly on the ice |
Tuesday, November 14 - Emperor Penguins, Snow Hill
The fast ice around Snow Hill island is the northernmost location for Emperor penguin colonies. Our expedition leader, Stephano, worked really hard to make sure we could see the Emperor's, as many tour groups are not able to do so. We were lucky to see them in a number of locations. This was the first time a number of our naturalists had seen them in the wild. It was a treat to be able to watch their antics.

| This group of three were like Larry, Moe and Curly on ice! |

 |
| Larry, Moe and Curly eventually headed across the ice to the open sea for some feeding time |
 |
| The fastest of the three has almost made their target |
 |
| Now, some hesitation and backtracking - maybe the water was too cold this morning? |
 |
| After about 15 minutes, the first bravely dives in |
 |
| And the next one.... |
 |
| Finally, all in.... |
