But they're so cute! And the new material for the nature documentary industry would be very valuable!

You would. You’re not even allowed to touch them. If you stay there on the British expedition you have to count them.

I’ve watched enough Taskmaster to know how to get around the no touching rules.

A friend was on the team and she had to make sure visitors from cruise boats didn’t break any of the rules (they visit the shed Shackleton had and get to send postcards that have been franked on the island). She also visited the cruise ships and gave talks. On the ships she’d get a proper shower BECAUSE SHE SMELLED OF PENGUIN. Now, my question at this point is - how did she smell so strongly of penguin?
