when you feel like it.
Or you can't wash every day
if you want to,
or you can't go down to the
nearest pub for a drink
just to get away from it.
You just accept that.
It just, it might look difficult
to people,
but until you... it would be far more
difficult for him to have
to get into a car every morning
and drive to work.
The Damien II averages 26 miles
a day now,
Working from cove to cove
they arrive at Cuverville Island
a breeding site for many
many Gentoo penguins.
but like all penguins,
these are true birds.
insulate them from the cold,
and at the same time
lie close to the body to help
the speedy swimmers in the water.
This will be the first egg
because its dirtier,
and this is the second.
The second egg is suppose to be
a bit smaller that the first.
But they look about the same size
really.
That one there, though-she's just
about to get off
that-you can really tell
the difference there.
The Gentoos are apt to form life-long
attachments among breeding pairs
although they are not so particular
about which nest site
they use from season to season.
On the peninsula,
for penguin eggs to hatch.
The parents watch over them for
another month or so,
large groups while the parents
are off gathering good.
One or two months later the young
penguins begin to feed on their own.
What beautiful nests these ones are
well made
anyway, with the stones like that
and they all seem to be
just sitting right.
You remember the chinstraps at
Deception-
all mucky, all smelly
in all directions?
These are all nice and neat...
I think these are probably the
prettiest of the birds.
By now Sally and Jerome
penguin life many times
and still Antarctica fascinates them.
The first time we come...
just well, put the foot ashore.
That was an achievement
for us at least.
And we are very pleased with that.
We've been a bit scared
we've been fighting
to reach Antarctica... and after
we come back a bit more confident
and you go a bit further.
And that's what we've done
just going farther and farther
each time, knowing a bit more.
And when you start to know a place
you-why,
you belong to this place.
And that's what's happened to us.
Often while Sally is counting penguins
the children explore for themselves.
At the shore here, they've spotted a
leopard seal coming close.
Penguins that survive to adulthood
may live for 20 years.
They're safe on land
with practically no predators.
But in sea
there is danger from seals
