If Adelie is the cute one of the Pygoscelis genus, the Gentoo is the jester of the bunch. They are hilarious to watch waddling from the sea to their rocky colonies in single file on well worn snow highways. However, once they get in the sea they are sleek and graceful like little torpedos. We sometimes saw massive groups porpoising ahead of the boat. All pictures taken in Antarctica.
