Penguin Home - Cuverville Island
On the expedition ship, we sneaked into the restaurant for breakfast, haha, because we got up too early in the morning, had little breakfast, and it was very cold outside. I feel that since South Georgia Island, we have a lot of activities every day and get up very early (5, 6 o'clock). It is said that we have to land again after lunch. A place called Cuverville Island, there are many, many Gentoo penguins. I still remember seeing a small pile last time in Little Moltke.
Before coming to Antarctica, my favorite was the King Penguins. But after going to Cuverville Island on 11/13, I completely changed this idea~ Now I like Gentoo Penguins the most, because they are cute in size, very thoughtful, brave and not afraid of people, and their actions are stupid and funny. It seems that after catching fish from the sea, you must walk a section of uphill road to return to the nest. If it is too tired to walk. It will pretend to swim in the snow with its small wings. Very funny. Cuverville Island is a very dreamy bay, with snow-covered mountains and blue transparent ice on the shore. Gentoo penguins walk around in groups in the snow. If there are also paradises for penguins, it should be on Cuverville Island!

The black silhouette in the white snow, isn't it like an innocent and romantic child? Too cute.

The most prominent place in the snow in the distance is their nest, guess what the coffee color is?
There are also glaciers falling into the sea from time to time. When we were about to leave this small bay, our expedition team's Valentino said that Gentoo penguins are still swimming masters. They like to fly up and down in the sea, like birds.

And every time they go to the sea to catch fish, there are hundreds of them together. We sat in the assault boat and really saw a lot of Gentoos in the sea like dolphins.
The expedition ship kept moving forward, and it was about to hit the frozen glacier in front! The broadcast rang again, this time it was the leader of the expedition team, Florence. She said: Today's sunset is really intoxicating, the captain decided to drive the expedition ship into the glacier. How does everyone feel? So there was applause on the ship! The thickness of this glacier is estimated to be more than ten meters. Everyone held their breath and watched the moment the expedition ship broke the glacier. The sharp steel cast bow card split the ice layer with a sound, and the expedition ship really broke into the glacier. Wow, everything in front of me is too unreal. The pink iceberg in the distance is really spectacular. If it weren't for coming to Antarctica, I would never see such a beautiful scenery in my lifetime.
Cuverville Island is the largest colony of Gentoo penguins on the Antarctic Peninsula. The island itself does not have any special landscape, but the presence of thousands or even tens of thousands of Gentoo penguins makes the island full of vitality and, of course, full of smell... That smell is really unforgettable. The penguins there are not afraid of humans at all, but for the sake of protecting wildlife, we all keep our distance and quietly watch the penguins' naive appearance.
Cuverville Island is a relatively large rocky island in Antarctica. Due to climate warming, part of the snow on the island has melted. However, there are still a large number of penguins, sea lions and seals living on the island. You can follow the team to hike on the island to see these lovely Antarctic animals, or take a boat tour to see the magnificent iceberg cliffs around, which is also amazing.
Cuverville Island is a masterpiece of nature. The whole island is covered with ice and snow. However, on the shore washed by the sea, you can still see reefs and outcroppings of rocks. It is one of the most beautiful islands in Antarctica. Surrounded by large and small icebergs, the scenery is different and very spectacular. There are many aboriginal penguins on the island.
The whole island is covered with ice and snow. However, on the shore washed by the sea, you can still see reefs and outcroppings of rocks. There are gray hills and beaches everywhere. Sometimes they line up in neat rows, facing one direction, like a well-trained guard of honor, waiting and welcoming visitors from afar. There are two dead whale bones on the ground. In order to maintain the original ecology of Antarctica, you can see the remains of wild animals and other historical traces scattered on many islands.

Cuverville Island is located in the Errera Channel and is said to be the largest colony of Gentoo penguins on the Antarctic Peninsula. When we visited, the chicks in this colony were relatively large, chasing their parents for food, and were strong enough to survive the winter.
Cuverville Island is a rocky island in Antarctica, but it has been frozen for thousands of years.
