I Discovered That Adelie Penguins Can Fly!!

The Oden was parked at an ice station in McMurdo Sound, about 6 miles off the coast of Cape Bird on the North end of Ross Island. The icebreaker had created the only pool of open water as far as the eye could see and about 100 Adelie penguins were happy to take advantage of it. I shot this video by lowering my underwater camera over the bow of the Oden into the pool of open water in front of the ship. Enjoy!
