Adélie Penguins, Paulet Island

Named for the wife of the early French explorer, Dumont D’Urville in the 1830’s, the Adélie penguin is the stereotypical penguin. With its tuxedo shirt front and white rings around its eyes, it is most endearingly handsome and comical. The rocky and ice-free beaches of Paulet Island provide important breeding-ground for Adélie penguins.
