When Penguins Attack

Photograph by Gordon Tait, National Geographic Your Shot

“This is what happens when you leave a GoPro out on the sea ice,” writes Your Shot member Gordon Tait, who captured a series of time-lapses with the HD camera system while running an ocean acidification experiment near Casey Station, Antarctica. “We often get groups of Adélie penguins coming to see what we’re doing, and this one was trying to peck the camera.”

1. EEEK! Suddenly I feel very vulnerable, my dear Crewleader!

It's a good thing this is just a photo...



Thanks, as always, for these!

7. I feel like the Penguin

I had to sit through another culture scrapping this morning. Apparently, the last one showed no results which the doctor questions.

This past week, I'm on strong antibiotics, three times a day and it's still not draining but it's clear fluid instead of the other. He needs to know the results from the culture to match the right antibiotic.

Still very sore so Doc took another one and I finish the pills over the weekend and see him early Monday morning.

I'm still in the fighting ring, round two and still taking the blows, it's wearing for sure.

Thanks for your support Dear Peggy and everyone's comments, much appreciated.

8. What you're going through sounds just awful, my dear Crewleader...

I'm so sorry. I hope that this will come to a successful ending very soon...

Wish I could make the soreness go away.
