- While it's a beautiful photo, it's so sad that this is the only iceberg in the photo, just proving what global warming is doing. If it wasn't there, it looks like it could be a beach! - ohmyvogue

adelie penguin antarctica
Adelie penguins are the smallest of the penguins living on the
Antarctica continent. They are about 28 inches (70 cm) tall and weigh
about 8 to 9 lbs. (4 kilogram). Adelie penguins were named after the
wife of a French explorer in the 1830s. These penguins nest and breed
on the rocky, ice-free beaches in large colonies of ten thousands of
birds. There are over 2.5 million breeding pairs living in the
Antarctica region.

I have loved these birds since I was a young child.
My wish as a kid was to go there and just sit and be with the Adelie.
This photo encapsulates that dream--my image os sitting there with that penguin--thank you~~

Very funny.
Could you be more specific? By the looks of it, it could be anywhere around the South Shetlands or the Peninsula.
