On most trips, I get one question at least once, something like: “I think I just saw a flying penguin!! How is that possible” Or: “How do these penguins get on top of that steep cliff?” Usually, it has nothing to do with penguins, but more with another black and white Antarctic bird: the Antarctic Shag (or Blue-eyed Cormorant). As this bird is clearly able to fly, it can breed on cliffs, but it also breeds in penguin colonies, probably just to confuse people…
