I recently returned from an incredible trip to Antarctica and I need everyone to look at my penguin photos.

@aurochs I didn't see leopard seals but we saw Weddell seals, which always appear to be smiling beautifically in their sleep:
@geekmomprojects Awwww!! please put a blanket on those weddell seals!

Since people seem to like the penguins, I have to post this photo, which somebody else on my ship took. I think it belongs in National Geographic. We saw two orcas chasing a poor penguin which darted underneath our ship multiple times to try to escape. Zoom in on the penguin's face to see its expression.

@geekmomprojects
They're wonderful -
@aurochs We also saw lots of humpbacks, a fair number of orcas and a few fin whales and there were quite a few albatrosses as well
@geekmomprojects Wooooh!! I love rorquals!! So lucky! Did you see any Sheathbills and storm petrels?? (I imagine is hard)

@geekmomprojects That penguin is saying some penguin swear words.

@geekmomprojects Ohhh poor fella! But it's a cool looking Orca. great pic, btw.

@geekmomprojects You could totally set up a daily penguin bot and I would absolutely follow it
@consumablejoy right!?! I thing that somebody needs to start an all penguin cable TV channel

@geekmomprojects great dance moves, those last two.

@geekmomprojects How the heck did you end up in Antartica???
Those photos are super cute, btw.
@CleoQc It was a lucky coincidence. In early December I was at lunch with some girlfriends and one was talking about how she felt sad because the Antarctic trip she'd been invited to go on with a different friend got canceled because the company went bankrupt, and her friend wasn't able to reschedule. I said "that sounds amazing" and we made a plan then and there and 6 weeks later we were in Antarctica!

@gblues Someone pointed out that how you feel about the photo depends on whether you are watching a penguin documentary or an orca documentary.

@geekmomprojects did you happen to see any penguins heading for the mountains?

Do you know why polar bears don't eat penguins?
Because they can't get the wrappers off
