Penguin Post Office (2015)

In the heart of the Antarctic Peninsula theres a unique British post office staffed by a dedicated team and surrounded by jawdropping scenery that includes 3000 gentoo penguins Every summer this particular colony of penguins returns from an intensive spell of deep sea fishing to its breeding grounds alongside the post office trekking nearly two miles across sea ice and snow to get there when the weather is especially bad They rush to find a partner build a nest lay eggs and protect those eggs from predators and then finally get down to the task of raising their young We see their fourmonth drama unfold against the backdrop of their lives primarily the comings and goings of cruise ships bringing enthusiastic tourists to photograph the penguins and their chicks and to buy postcards to send to friends and family around the world from the Penguin Post Office
