How the penguins get clean
Gentoos swimming in Neko Harbor.
Gentoos are the fastest swimmers among penguins—they can go 22 miles per hour in the water (part of the reason I still have never managed to get good pictures of them porpoising—by the time you click the shutter, they're gone, and they swim so fast you can't predict where they'll surface again.)
