Today I want to watch penguins. But first I have to go to the coast to the Casey settlement

What I like is that many people and vehicles are animated. You can even hear the engines

Instead of the noisy helicopter, I prefer to approach the penguins by motorboat

We have reached our destination. If you look closely, you can already spot penguins on the ridge above the bow
