Chinstrap penguins at Bailey Head, Deception Island, Antarctica

This footage was shot at Bailey Head on Deception Island in Antarcitca, home to one of the world's largest chinstrap penguin colonies. At the beginning of the video you can see a group of chinstraps "porpoising" just before coming ashore. Deception Island is a common landing spot during Antarctica cruises due to the easy access to the chinstrap colonies. However, Zodiac landings at Bailey Head can prove challenging due to frequent large swells and high winds.
