Description

Adelie Penguins are my personal favorite. They breed on land between October and February, building their nests from pebbles, and spend the winter at sea in the pack ice. They return to the same nest and the same mate if they can. At Brown Bluff, on the Tabarin Peninsula, they nest beneath towering red-brown cliffs of volcanic rock, alongside gentoo penguins.
