A Gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis papua) displays agility at Brown's Station, Paradise Bay, in the Antarctic.   The area forms part of a proposal to create the largest protected area on the planet; an Antarctic ocean sanctuary.  China, Russia and Norway have blocked plans to create a huge new reserve in the Antarctic that would have been a sanctuary for whales and other species.
