一阵出人意料的寒风扫过志愿者点上荒凉的海滩,那是福克兰群岛最受欢迎的旅游地点之一,不过成群的王企鹅、巴布亚企鹅和麦哲伦企鹅们似乎都表现得满不在乎。这样的景象让两小时坐着四轮越野车在没有路的泥炭地上行驶的颠簸路程非常值得;当我凝视着南极洲以外最大的王企鹅群落时,乌云密布的天空和仲夏的寒意都消减不了我的兴奋,我在拍下这张混合了各种企鹅的照片时,觉得仅仅这次不凡的企鹅相遇就让我们的邮轮旅程值回票价。
Asurprisingly cold wind swept across the desolate beach at Volunteer Point, one of the Falkland Islands' most popular tourist destinations, but the throngs of king, gentoo and Magellanic penguins didn't seem to mind. This sight made the two hours of bumpy four-wheeling over roadless peat beds worthwhile, and neither the overcast skies nor the midsummer chill could dampen the excitement I felt as I gazed at the largest colony of king penguins outside of Antarctica. As I photographed this melange of assorted penguins, I felt that this extraordinary penguin encounter alone made our cruise worthwhile.
