And we saw our first Chinstrap penguins, so called because they seem to have a hat held on by a black strap. The Chinstraps and the Adelies are both about 19 inches tall, and the Gentoo penguins about 21 inches tall. The Emperor Penguin, which we did not see as they occupy a different part of Antarctica, are about 36 inches tall and have what seems to be an orange collar around their necks.
