Gentoo penguin colony.
***
Neko Harbor is home to a colony of Gentoo penguins. Gentoos nest in a more disperse fashion than Adélies, and they are a bit more rambunctious.
 |
| A large active glacier sits beside the colony. The glacier calved a couple of times during the visit |
 |
| There were two major concentratinos of nests, one nearer the beach, and on atop a hill further away |
 |
| There was a constant stream of traffic up and down the 'penguin highways' between the two nesting areas |
 |
| A number of fuzzy Gentoo chicks were visible |

There was pretty much constant activity right off the shore.
