20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Pitstop

As we crossed the Antarctic Sound, we came across a giant floating iceberg with hundreds of Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins jumping and scrambling up the side of the iceberg while their peers who were already safely "ashore" watched on. This enormous "pitstop" in the middle of nowhere was such a surreal sight to behold.
