Quick. Get the Penquin Police

Yes. It's true. The Expedition Staff have designated Penquin Police. They wear bright yellow vests (shown below) and shoo you away if you get too close to the penquins. Ultimate respect for the creatures in their habitats is strictly enforced. While many would just love to hug the darlings, no can do. And no, they are not available as pets or else the person pictured here would surely have brought one or three back to San Miguel.

Penquin Police Vests Raise Over $500 For Project
At the end of the trip two vests were auctioned off to the highest bidder. Each one brought over $250 for a special project being done in the Falkland Islands by Dr. Peter Carey, the ship's expedition leader.
