  Oh yes - hope they didn't get too close! 😄

  How close can you get till the penguins become conscious/attack?

  We were told to stay 3m back from the edge of the colony, stay still and quiet, then the penguins will come to you!

  Ditto, grannieannie, they are curious and only defend not attacking in nature. Very curious and complacent about us.

  We are really lucky to have so many people who have been to the Antarctic and can tell us what it's like 😄

  Mark all the penguins, and the human animals too, therapeutic 😃

  Welcome, @alan2here - Yes, it can be therapeutic 😃 . Do please follow the FAQ protocol...

• by gardenmaeve moderator

  When marking people, mark those nearest the penguins, and a single mark will suffice within a group of people. 😃 FAQ 6.

  IF YOU GET AN 'OUT OF PICTURES MESSAGE'. Try to reload your browser to get a picture. We get practice pictures between sets usually.

  I will try to get a timeline for new pictures as soon as possible for you all.

  Congratulations to our volunteers for completing another large set of picture classifications! 😄

  Just to avoid confusion, we are not done with the current data set yet. Still need your help! 😃

  Is it bad that I was immediately thrilled by the researchers in the background? Haha

  Posted May 25, 2017 4:01 AM

• by coldcounter

  No, it's not. Some of us have been known to go looking for ourselves!!! 😃 😃

  OMG, I see humans!

  Posted May 26, 2017 9:07 PM

• by gardenmaeve moderator

  Well, humans do visit Antarctica, whether in carefully regulated encounters through cruises or as parts of scientific teams like our Penguin Watch scientists. 😉

  Posted May 26, 2017 9:12 PM

• by gardenmaeve moderator

  Good for you for observing closely enough to recognize them...marked as Humans in the Other list, of course! 😃

  I think this is the first time I have seen humans and penguins in the same picture. Certainly this is the closest they've been (for me).

  Posted May 27, 2017 6:18 PM

• by gardenmaeve moderator

  It's often a bit of a shock when we first see humans with the penguins. Quite a few cruises include visits to penguin rookeries.

  What is the structure at the top of the picture on the ground - like fencing or an old boat, next to the humans?

  Posted May 27, 2017 7:09 PM

• by gardenmaeve moderator

  There are old whaling boats there- 2, as I recall.

  That's not an egg under the most close penguin?

  Posted May 28, 2017 8:58 PM

• by gardenmaeve moderator

  That's OK @jetcahill, others will have marked them. No one can change your classifications, so it's good to look once more before finishing.

  Posted May 28, 2017 10:22 PM

• by gardenmaeve moderator

  Please remove that # mark, though. 😉 It slipped in when you were looking at the humans. (Edited to say we removed it for you!)

  Posted May 28, 2017 10:22 PM

• by gardenmaeve moderator

  @Maebh - Not an egg- that's an adorable but mostly hidden chick.

  Are those scientists? I don't like to think of cruises going the Antarctic and letting people just wander about. it should be kept pristine.

  Posted June 8, 2017 9:31 AM

• by gardenmaeve moderator

  @Snorkmaiden - Some people learn to value Antarctica when carefully restricted cruise groups visit. There are clear rules in place.

  Posted June 8, 2017 10:04 AM

• by gardenmaeve moderator

  Therefore, both scientists and visitors (including some of our volunteers here) are able to visit under clear guidelines.

  Posted June 8, 2017 10:05 AM

• by AvastMH moderator

  Hi @Snorkmaidenuk (love that name by the way 😃 . As @gardenmaeve states the rules for visitors are strict.
