When Penguins Attack

Photograph by Gordon Tait , National Geographic Your Shot

This is what happens when you leave a GoPro out on the sea ice, writes Your Shot member Gordon Tait, who captured a series of time-lapses with the HD camera system while running an ocean acidification experiment near Casey Station, Antarctica. We often get groups of Ad lie penguins coming to see what we re doing, and this one was trying to peck the camera.
