A little reminder in the principles of Leave No Trace is always a good idea. This short video from my last Antarctica trip provides just that. Although a tiny pebble might seem insignificant, they are incredibly coveted by Antarctica penguins — penguins make their nests from small pebbles, that are not always easy to come by in the snowy, stark environment. Seen here in a short clip are Gentoos (and I believe a chinstrap sneaks into the clip) doing a little nest building and ongoing maintenance. Penguin pebble thieves are everywhere… watching the constant back and forth, tug-of-war methods of penguins as the steal each others’ pebbles gets comical, especially because the polar-thieves obviously have no shame! As travelers, we must remember how significant the most seemingly insignificant items might be. So remember, take pictures and leave the pebbles for the penguins.
And as always, travel well!
WOW!!!

I must say though that to be honest these videos really make me nervous. I can't help thinking about irresponsible traveling and global warming, and how my grand kids, If they are lucky enough might get a last peek at the glaciers...
People - Take your holidays and vacations BUT do it with love to the planet and with understanding of our foot print on the planet, so penguins can keep on loving each other...
