If you never understood why penguins normally get themselves aligned along icebergs, sort of waiting to see who will be the first to jump into the water – that has to do with seals, their ferocious predator. So once the first penguin comes back – or not – the others may feel safer and then all jump from the iceberg. They are really awkward walking on the ice – but proportionally agile in their swimming capacities. It is dangerous to approach an iceberg too much in a big ship – so having excellent binoculars is a must. You will see also the carved amazing details and colors of icebergs – and how huge they are compared to the size of penguins. |
