Gentoo Penguin, Pygoscelis Papua, close-up, Port Lockroy

Gentoos are distinguished from the smaller Adelie and Chinstrap species by their bright red-orange bills and conspicuous white patches behind their eyes. The Gentoo penguin has the widest range of distribution of any penguin. Its most significant populations are concentrated on the Antarctic Peninsula and sub-Antarctic islands.
