Penguins happily swimming in a pool-like pond. Summer is coming in Antarctica and in some places the ice melts creating ponds.

I was working in Antarctica on this ship, we had big rubber inflatable boats that we would se to land on shore In some areas. One day I was going to shore with a driver and we stopped to watch some penguins swim by and as we were sitting one shot out a the water and Into the boat. It was as startled as we were, it stood up and kinda freaked out. The driver was was like “pick it up and throw it over the side“ I was kinda shocked and “ok”. And I went to grab it. And wrap my hands around it and it kicked and squawked. The most muscle-y dense thick strong little creature I’ve ever felt. Like holding a big tuna. And i threw it in the water and off we went, it shit all over me.

I’m probably just projecting this onto them, but it really seems like they are more relaxed and joyful since it is safe from Leopard seals and such.

I'm mesmerized by the side wriggle movements that the penguins are doing in the water.

I remember hearing once that penguins are the most hydrodynamic animals on the face of the earth. And do so by creating a series of mini drag forces that result from the texture of their fur (feathers), that when summed up, create less drag than something that is largely smooth (like a dolphin). I don’t know if there’s any truth to this. However, this video gives me some evidence that they are zippy little critters in the water. 😃

Odd as it is, this one of most therapeutic things to watch, esp with the music. This should be made into some kind of relaxing 4 hour video.

must be so nice in a certain sense, being 0 risk, don't have to watch out for other underwater predators or anything, just some frolicking and whimsy
