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.

lol
the language does sound a little strange.
im from newfoundland and the language they are speaking is english.
the accents are a little thicker than average but the worse is the terrible distortion caused by the compression in the video and by the wind blowing on the mic.
dont ask me to do a full translation tho the sounds just too bad.
i have seen a better version of this somewhere and it didnt sound so bad.
Keep in mind that all of the man made particulate in the atmosphere (aka smog) reflects more energy than the minuscule amount of CO2 produced could ever hold in. If it weren't for the amazing increase in sun spot activity over the last 10 years the planet would be cooling instead of warming.
Amazing footage.
Regarding the language, it's english alright.
I'm irish and it sounds like a particularly thick west-ireland accent.
