Expeditions to the Antarctic are always full of surprises, as it is such a remote territory that still has a lot to offer in terms of discoveries.
Eddie Gault is an Australian, who went on an expedition there and took his camera with him to document penguin colonies. Besides the interesting footage he managed to capture, he also ended up with a fun selfie taken by one of the penguins.
Gault visited Auster Rookery and wanted to document a group of Emperor penguins, leaving his camera near them to record their everyday lives. After leaving, one of the penguins approached the camera, and as it can be seen on the footage, knocked the camera over and accidentally took a selfie together with other penguins. If you don’t know a lot about Emperor penguins, they are the largest penguin species on the planet and can have an average height of 45 inches.
They can also live up to 20 years and are very accustomed to living in extreme conditions, such as the Antarctic weather conditions. Emperor penguins live in colonies and their breeding season is in Winter, a time when female penguins lay their eggs and leave them in the care of the male penguins.
If you want to learn more about Emperor penguins you can find a lot of footage taken at Auster Rookery on the Internet.

You misspelled Antarctica. And penguins do this all the time (though this one is cute).
It’s “Antarctica.” You’re missing a “c” in the headline.
