Travel story: Up Close and Personal With Penguins January 9, 2004

Curverville Island is a tiny speck surrounded by ice and snow. Ships have to anchor rather far away from the steep, rocky coast. Curverville is home to several large Gentoo rookeries. Penguins nest low on the ground here, in addition to their usual high nests. This afforded very close looks at their eggs, and we could see them arranging and rearranging their nests. These penguins were very fussy about which, how many, and what type of pebbles they used for their nests.
