Big ship, large crew, little penguin. The crew of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star is in Antarctica, resupplying McMurdo Station before winter sets in. To get there, the ship had to break 12 miles of ice! While there, the crew posed for a group picture with the ship. That’s when a curious Adelie penguin strolled in and photobombed the picture. At least he caused the whole group to smile!
The Coast Guard has a long history with the penguins of Antarctica. You can read about it and see more pictures, at Buzzfeed.

See those 2 dudes in short-sleeved shirts, while everyone else is bundled up in thick coats? Canadian spies.
