The Adventures of Penkie
So far, I'm sure you have noticed that despite this blogs title, I don't have any penguin photos yet. Therefore, in response to this, as well as the request for some photos of where I live, I have created a series called "The Adventures of Penkie".
Penkie is a small 6 in. tall plush penguin stuffed animal I bought at the McMurdo gift shop*. He is going to be your guide to "a day in the life of a research scientist at McMurdo, Antarctica", taking my place because he is (a) cuter (b) fluffier (c) a penguin. Plus he has a really cool scarf to keep him warm.
This is one of the sillier things I think I have ever done, walking around all day with a small stuffed penguin under my arm, setting him up for poses and taking photos. But it was fun, and I like the results.
I'll finish the adventure when I get a chance.

I'm really enjoying Nathan's grand adventure. Love the picture and the time you're taking to complete the blog. Hope others see it the same

Nate,
Great that you are seeing the local inhabitants of the continent. I know they are synthetically filled and unusually small for the imagery, but I am sure you will learn a lot from observation. Cheers from Seattle.

Penkie is great! I particularly like one of the first few shots, where it looks like he's 10ft tall outdoors!
