astonished to find that little penguins came right up to them.If a penguin comes extremely close to you，remember：you aren't allowed to touch or hold them.

　　Here are more tips for getting close to penguins：

　　Ignore the smell：where penguins live is filled with guano (海鸟粪) and the smell takes some getting used to.

　　Be quiet because loud noises make penguins nervous.

　　Fast or sudden movements signal meat­eating animals to penguins，and they react accordingly，so slow down when you walk around them.

　　Since it may take half an hour or more before the penguins get used to you，you need to be patient.

　　Put away your camera-too often people are so focused on getting the pictures that they forget to look with their own eyes，but most of your most memorable experiences in Antarctica will be marked in your mind，not on a roll of film.
