Swimming Penguin
Imagine that while touring the Antarctic coast in a small boat with other visitors. You ve come to see the magnificent icebergs in the Gerlache Strait. Since you re in Antarctica, you ve got your video camera ready. Then, in addition to catching the icebergs frozen, gleaming blue, you catch a scene right out of a nature documentary. Matthew and Anna Karsten of Expert Vagabond captured a pod of killer whales chasing a penguin across the water.
The incredible experience came after a thrilling chase in which the bird circled the tour boat several times and managed to bail out of the water to safety.
