Watching the penguin pairs coming ashore is really something else. Moments of tenderness that are so expressive.

Fifteen years ago I got a chance to sail down to Macquarie Island, the last stop before you reach the Antarctic Confluence and the ice of East Antarctica.

Last week I got a chance to go back, and the Royal Penguins did not dissapoint. They are amazing little critters, full of personality and curiosity.

Language is made up of what we say, so if we call them penguins, they're penguins. There is no state of "penguin-ness" outside of language, so to suggest today's penguins are somehow not legitimate because another bird was once called penguin would just be silly.
