Paul Nicklen, a National Geographic photographer and friend, told me that his encounters with them for last years photo shoot was THE most incredible animal encounter of his life. A large female "adopted" him, gave him penguins as gifts (by the end of the shoot he'd sometimes have a dozen penguin bodies floating around him) and would follow them back to their boat, sleeping on an ice floe nearby.
