see the penguins in ushuaia, argentina
Guys, I promised you I would see penguins and I did.
In Ushuaia there were so many amazing things to do, but in a rare moment of single-mindedness I pushed all the other possibilities aside and booked a trip to visit the penguins.
PiraTour is the only company with a license to land on Martillo Island, the home of two breeds of Penguins: Magellanic and Gentoo. So, we had the lucky chance of hanging out with the amazing birds for over an hour.
The Magellanic Penguins build their nests by digging holes in the ground big enough to house three or four fat penguins. The babies do nothing but eat for the first 3 to 4 weeks of their lives so they get impressively fat in a remarkably short time. And to top off the adorable factor, they're fluffy.
I'm lucky I made it off the island alive - the cuteness almost killed me.
