Request from my nephew.

Hey! I made this post about going to Antarctica and seeing penguins 5 months ago in this sub, and a bunch of people asked for more info, more pics, cost, etc. It was an amazing trip, and I FINALLY sat down and wrote a blog about it with more pictures. Antarctica blog.

It's a free Medium blog post and my original content (NO AI). I read the rules and hope it's ok to post this since I'm not selling anything.

I went to Argentina and Antarctica in Feb/March 2026 on Atlas World Voyager. This blog includes pictures, journal entries, and a breakdown of the cost and what's included.

I love penguins so much. They are my favorite animal everrr☺️💕 I wanted to draw two penguins in love on my iPad using my Apple Pencil🥰 This is howw it turned out!

Description:
Community Draw gives everyone a one 48×48 canvas and a prompt. Everyone paints the same picture: aim with the crosshair, pick a color, place your pixel, then wait out a short cooldown while other people's pixels pop in around yours. When the timer runs out the canvas is finished forever, and the post becomes a keepsake with a time-lapse replay of the whole drawing being made.

Pixels that survive into the final artwork earn you credits, XP, levels and streaks, and you can suggest future prompts by commenting !add your idea on any round. Enough upvotes and it joins the prompt bank with your name on it.

Yesterday, 122 strangers placed 949 pixels and made a genuinely charming alien. the GIF is the time-lapse. Right now we're drawing a dinosaur. Come place a pixel 🦖

Last flashback for this week! This another set of videos from around the 1 month old mark of the little penguins chicks, and they are getting very active. Here we can see the chicks milling about the nest, doing some big wing flapping, showing off their beaks/mouths, and of course bothering Mrs Blue for more food. Parents only have so much to give and the chicks get some nips from mom to tell them that she’s all out.

Towards the end, we can even see that one of the chicks is outside the nest and comes back in to see if there’s any fish to be had. At this age, the chicks will explore a little bit outside, and the parents sometimes feed outside as it gets more crowded and pushy in the nest.

Hope these two blues stay safe! There has been recent news of an avian flu in these parts of the world and word is that there is an initiative to vaccinate over 5000 of these cerulean seabirds

Here we have some video of the chicks at closer to 1 month old, and boy have they grown; and they’ve still got some growing to do! Their appetite grows as they do, and now we start to see the parent’s patience start to wear thinner. One can only take so much begging!

First we have Mrs Blue at the nest, tending to her hungry chicks. Then we can see the kids by themselves for a bit. Followed by another feeding session, this time from Mr Blue! We get a good view of his white spot near his tail as well, which is how we can differentiate between the two parents.

Again, hope y’all don’t mind but I was listening to some DMB while recording these.

Hello penguin gang! I have compiled just a few more videos for my rewind on the Rewilding Argentina series.

We are back on the beach of Isla Tova, Chubut, where the Magellan penguins gather in the morning before heading out to see. This morning they seemed cautious. A group would get into the water, but then all emerge back out only moments later. I could not tell if there was something in the water deterring them, or if they were just practicing precaution. You can see a couple splashes out on the water after the 8:40am timestamp.
