...And If You Look To Your Right...


Looking for all the world like spectators at Wimbledon, these Gentoo penguins were basking in the last rays of the sun on Bertha's Beach in the Falkland Islands. The beach is named after a sailing barque called the Bertha, which was wrecked on the shore many years ago.  As you wander among the resident penguins, it's still possible to spot timbers from the unfortunate ship in the dunes.  Unsurprisingly, the penguins don't seem to care much about maritime history.
