‘After feeding on swarms of krill beneath the Antarctic ocean, rafts of penguins return to the surface rocketing up from the depths leaving trails of bubbles resembling the jetstream of a plane.

#penguins

Rafts of penguins return to the surface rocketing up from the depths leaving trails of bubbles.
These bubbles act as a coat around the penguins, allowing them to reach speeds of more than 20km/h underwater, making them the fastest of any diving bird. Their streamlined bodies and strong “flippers” allow them to dive more than 200 metres to feed on swarms of krill in the Antarctic depths.’
