George Murray Levick (1876–1956)

A delightful account of the Adélie penguin colony at Cape Adare during the 1911-1912 summer season of the Terra Nova expedition. Levick was a keen observer with a warm sense of humor and obvious fondness for the penguins. A particularly amusing penguin pastime he describes is "floe riding", in which penguins line up at the windward end of their land, cram as many of themselves as possible on a small floe passing by, ride it to the end or their land, get off, and march back up to catch another ride. Voilà! A penguin amusement park ride.
