Today we had an early wakeup call so that we could watch the ship go through the Lamaire Channel, nicknamed the Kodak Gap due to its photogenic beauty.  After breakfast we went to Petermann Island which has one of the most southernmost colonies of Gentoo penguins and also our most southerly stop of the cruise.  We also got to see a new species, the Adelie penguin.

The Adelie penguin chick are older and therefore bigger than the chinstrap or the gentoo penguin chicks.
