Happy World Penguin Day!

Earlier this year, we visited the magical Antarctic as part of a year-long voyage from pole to pole calling for ocean protection. One of the highlights of our time there was meeting incredible Antarctic wildlife — including whales, seals and thousands of cute penguins.

Because it's World Penguin Day today, we thought we'd share our favorite photos of our clumsy, cheeky little friends. Enjoy!

Wahoo! It's snack time for these Gentoo and Chinstrap penguins, who are lining up to dive for fish.

These four are about to drop the hottest rap album of 2020.

This penguin chick found a beautiful spot for a moment of quiet reflection.

This curious Chinstrap looks like it has something to say to us...

Look, I'm a dolphin!

Sometimes you've just gotta escape the hustle and bustle of the colony, and hang out in a quiet spot with a friend.

What did you just say?!

Everyone loves penguins — with their waddling walks and fluffy chicks, it's hard not to be charmed by them. But sadly, these iconic Antarctic residents are in trouble. During the expedition, our team of scientists found that climate breakdown is impacting penguin colonies pretty severely.1

Luckily, there is a way for everyday people to help them right now! As wildlife struggles, we urgently need new ocean sanctuaries in the Antarctic and across the world, so animals like these penguins have the space to recover and adapt to a rapidly changing climate. And even though the UN meeting that was set to negotiate a new Global Ocean Treaty has been postponed, we are using this time to power this movement and increase pressure like never before. 

Vanessa, you and more than 3 million people around the world are calling for a network of ocean sanctuaries, and a strong Global Ocean Treaty which would enable it. Together we can make it happen, but we need all of our support. Will you chip in to help protect these vulnerable creatures and strengthen all our campaigns to protect the planet today?

Thank you so much for your support.
