It's rush hour on the Penguin highways in Antarctica. Leading them to and from their nests, the penguins waddle their way down these efficient routes until they find a problem, usually in the form of another penguin heading in the opposite direction.

They would sit in place , pretending the other wasn't there. Ignoring each other to have a battle of wills, until finally one gave in or got bored and decides to climb the snow bank on the side.

On and on the highways go. From the tips of hills to the ocean itself.

With the amount of traffic they are getting on these highways, they'll soon have to add a lane.

Very good post @dandoval ! Every time when I look at penguins I remember the Madagascar movie when they are shown as a group of gangsters .

Thanks! They are really funny creatures, actually. The way they waddle.

They are very cute)

This is likely the closest I will get to taking that trip, so thanks! tip!

This is so amazing @dandoval. Your pictures are very good. You use composition very well and the background blur in your pictures adds so much to them. Thank you for sharing this!
