Falkland Islands (Malvinas) Gentoo Penguin Colony, Yorke Bay
Around Yorke Bay is a specific Gentoo Penguin Colony which is quite active and around on the beaches and higher grasses. It's a super cool place to get a closer look at these penguins in their natural environment rather than just on ice in Antarctica.
Photography Tips
Take sand and grass into the foreground to better separate the subjects from the surroundings to focus on the wildlife.
Travel Information
Stay within the areas of allowances to protect the wildlife. You can easily walk here from Port Stanley (1:30h approx.) or take the local caps. Sometimes hitchhiking works out as well in these areas since the locals are quite friendly.
