Half Moon Bay

Half Moon Bay is home to a large Chinstrap penguin colony, with one lonely Macaroni penguin. It is also the placement of another Argentine Station. On our landing we go through a walk around the Island- which is only 2km in length. It is pretty rocky and slippery due to a mixture of penguin poo and mud! The penguins and their chicks are mighty dirty due to this mixture! The only clean adults are those that have come back from their feed.

The environment looks very harsh, there, poor penguins must walk on these sharp rocks…
