Fortuna Bay is home to King penguins, Gentoos, Fur seals, Elephant Seals and many flighted birds including Albatross and Southern Giant petrels. It is also a favorite stop for Reindeer.
It is the most accessible King Penguin colony on South Georgia as the bay offers some protection from the Southern Ocean.
On time, despite South Georgia being a British territory, I classified it as Antarctic for being bellow the convergence line and for being part of my Antarctica trip.

PP was a little cropping and curve adjustments for brightness.

Cheers,
Wellington


Fortuna Bay é lar para Penguins Reais, Papuas, Focas de pêlo, Elefantes marinhos e mitos pássaros, incluindo Albatroz e Petrel Gigante do Sul. É também uma das paradas favoritas para as renas, introduzidas nas ilhas pelos baleeiros.
É a colônia de pinguins Reais mais acessiveis da Georgia do Sul porque a baia oferece alguma proteção contra o furioso mar Antartico.
Em tempo, apesar da Georgia do Sul ser território Britânico, estou classificando como Antartico por estar abaixo da linha de convergência e ter feito parte da minha viagem à Antartica.

PP foi um corte na parte superior e ajuste de curva para luminosidade.

Abraços,
Wellington

wowwwwwwwww lovely capture, one front and other back side. both with great colours and details. very well done, Wellington

beautiful color and detail...especially the feathers on the back of the one on the right...they both look so soft...too bad that elephant seal? in the background appears to be growing out of the head of the one on the right...nothing a little cloning in PS couldnt fix...just slightly distracting to me personally...awesome capture...peace***

Hello Wellington!

Excellent momment!
Nice colours and good detail!
Best regards!
Lili

Wow, what a shot! and to have the opportunity to be in Antarctica and witness the "dance" first hand must have been a great experience.
Very nice.

Hello Wellington
Superb capture of these colorful penguins with great dof

I don't know why I never saw your pictures before probably because we are not online at the same time but you do have a very impressive portfolio.
Dot

Just great!

absolutely fantastic - it's as if they are posing!

This is great--if it hasn't happened already, it will certainly happen someday: this will end up as a "What are they saying to each other" photo.

Awesome capture. Colors are so neat.
