The Least Fragrant Assignment In Chilean Academia (Paradise Bay)..

(Details In The )

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonz%C3%

This is a colour photo in landscape format of a small rocky island with a Chilean flag flying from the centre and covered, covered with hundreds of Gentoo Penguins (and a vast glacier towering over the water's edge. Paradise Bay, Antarctica (2024). In the foreground is our slightly dome shaped rocky island. The island stretches from the left to the right of the photo and rises to just below the photo's centre and viewed from 10-15m away. To the lower left of centre is a concrete pillar supporting a long flag pole that flies a Chilean flag. The flag has a red horizontal lower half, white horizontal upper half, a blue square in the upper left corner with a white star set against the blue background. The sharp rocks, where visible are medium grey with a few concrete foundations to the right side of the island that may have once supported small buildings. While the Chilean flag may proudly fly over the island the real owners are the hundreds of Gentoo Penguins (Pygoscelis papua) that live and breed on the island. The penguins are viewed at a distance, their white fronts and black backs can be clearly recognised. Much of the island is stained a medium red (penguin poo), personal hygiene is not a penguin thing. Behind the island is a stretch of about 100m of calm, medium blue water, again that stretches from left to right and rises upwards to the quarter up level in the photo. Dominating the background, if not the whole image, is the face of an enormous glacier on the waters edge that rises to the top of the image. The face of the glacier is lined with numerous large, deep, vertical crevasses. The colour is a mix of white, turquoise and hints of blue. To the lower right of centre there is a large pile of blocks of ice from a recent calving of the glacier. What is out of view is the research station's buildings that are to the left of the flag and the thousands and thousands of other penguins that must outnumber the summer scientists by at least one thousand to one, but probably more.
