Scenes from penguinland

The second chapter of my National Geographic series Voyage of the Yellow-eyed Penguin: Penguins Wanted, actually involves penguins. Additional visual below.

My first penguin-monitoring station on a subantarctic island (I was pretty stoked to see four yellow-eyed penguins in four hours). Certainly can’t post this without acknowledging @edinzphoto’s amazing camo/neon combo gear loan (thanks, E!)
