After Uruguay we had a sea day on Star Princess heading south along Argentina's coast before docking at Puerto Madryn. We took an excursion that involved a two-hour bus ride through Patagonia - which was incredibly, incredibly dull - before arriving at the Punta Tombo nature reserve. Here we saw hundreds of Magellanic Penguins in the wild with plenty of chicks still retaining some of the soft brown feathers of youth, and it's where we learned that the sound of a penguin shouting is indistinguishable from that of a donkey braying. We were also fortunate enough to spot guanacos in the area which with vicuñas are the only wild species of camelid in South America, the llamas and alpacas being domesticated.

We're on mostly flat, dry ground, pebbled, with the small warm-toned stones of browns, whites, and blacks that feel like they could be part of a beach. A few growths of small bushes intrude into the scene in the background and just coming in from the right. The view is only of the ground with no other indication of what else is around but in front of us there are eight penguins. The nearest to us is in sharp focus, has flippers raised, and is leaning forward to the left with mouth open wide, apparently in mid-scream. Its black and white body still has tufts of brown feathery down on it over its back indicating its young age. Of the other penguins, two others stand while the remainder are lying down on the ground. It's possible to tell that a couple of other penguins still have their young, brown coat.

Protest March of the Penguins
youtube.com/watch?v=Xlik9QF08q

"Trump slapped 10 per cent tariffs on an Australian territory with no human inhabitants: the Heard and McDonald Islands, home to #penguins and seals. In response, nonprofit Penguins International will livestream the #Antarctic penguins’ annual #migration from the ocean to their breeding grounds, calling the event the ‘Protest March of the Penguins.”"

This should be a #penguin paradise ⚠️🐧
Chinstrap penguins - named after the thin black line under their chin - come to this area near Coronation Island to nest on the elevated ground. It’s where they raise their chicks, who stay warm and tucked away for about 30 days before waddling off to join a penguin daycare (yes, really), watched over by a few adults from the colony.

But raising chicks takes energy. And for that, they rely on one thing being close by: #krill❗

It’s their main food source - and they need a lot of it.
But now, they’re not the only ones hunting for it.👇
Industrial super trawlers are out here too, hauling up krill by the ton, day and night. Right where the penguins feed..

They can’t fight industrial fishing. But you can!

🔔 Tomorrow, we’re sharing a video update from the frontlines - showing something the krill industry would probably rather keep out of sight.

Watch it. Share it. Help us push for real protection!
