see in Google Maps download to Google EarthPair of mating Gentoo penguins at Port Lockroy, Antarctic Peninsula.
It is mid January in Antarctica - winter is just a few weeks away, so it is a bit too late for mating.
It takes 35 days to hatch the eggs and another 80 days before the chicks are ready to go out to sea, so this pair has no chance for a successful breeding this year.
