FLYING PENGUINS LEAP OUT OF THE OCEAN
Leaping out of the ocean, a group of gentoo penguins fly through the air before landing safely on an iceberg. Shaking their tail feathers dry, the seabirds take a few moments to waddle back towards the water's edge before taking the plunge again. The amusing scene was captured by photography guide David Merron as he watched the penguins from a boat near Danco Island, Antarctica.
