Question

It took us almost two hours to trek through the snow to the other side of the island. Even in my thermal snowsuit and heavy winter boots, I was starting to get cold. I hoped my camera was safe, zipped in under my coat. My mom moved ahead, climbing over an outcrop of ice and rocks, and then she turned around with a huge grin, "Found them, Sally!"

The penguins were more beautiful than I had imagined. They did not seem afraid of us, and they let us get close enough to take some amazing photos. There were penguin chicks—big, fuzzy balls of gray fluff—toddling between their parents. I took too many photos to count. The penguins called to each other in their own special language of squawks and screeches. I admired their sleek, black feathers and the bright bands of orange and yellow across their chests. I could have watched them play and interact for hours.

"They really do look like royalty," I told my mom. She nodded as she continued to take pictures.

All too soon, the crew members let us know that it was time to head back. I couldn't believe that we had already been there for an hour. The helicopter would be arriving soon to take us to Ushuaia, so we needed to get back to the ship. As we climbed back over the ice and snow, I barely felt the cold. My camera was warm against my chest, and I couldn't wait to share all the wonderful photos we had taken. I knew the memory of this trip with my mom would stay with me forever.
