A cold trip in a small boat

I have a not-god son, Jens. He's 4 years old and he loves animals. It's been long since his knowledge about animals passed mine. I send Jens postcards and pictures from the trip - mainly about animals. This was one (though not the only) of the reasons that I yesterday visited a national reserve for penguins and other sea liking animals.

Most penguins in Chile spend the summer in Southern Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego (Land of fire), but the Humboldt penguins like warmer climate and, therefore, live further north. I find it very sensible to prefer warmer weather.

Honestly, I just basically find it cool to see those animals, you usually visit in the zoo, out there where they belong and live all wild and by themselves. And it feels cool taking pictures of them so here goes.

Rough and full of birds


Red beaked and legged birds, I dont know what are called.

Black birds, I dont know what are called. Perhaps Pedro.

Seaweed that looks like an octopussy.
