I love these penguins, and spent a while watching them (and the thousands of seals) on the Skeleton Coast of Namibia.
Because of the incredibly rich Benguela Current off the coast, a lot of countries come there to fish, including Russia. While waiting for the big shoals to appear, they park their rusting hulks off the coast, where the penguins use them for nesting and resting purposes. It’s an odd juxtaposition:

Thanks for sharing these photos. I haven’t heard the term jackass penguin before and now want to hear what they sound like. Lucky you on the world traveling!
