Where Is The Snow?

Looking up to the clear blue skies, penguins on South Georgia Island in the southern Atlantic Ocean think there is something amiss. Pictures taken on the island, a well-known breeding colony for royal penguins, show there's no snow. The naturally curious animals look so out of place that they are almost cartoon-like to watch in what seems to be outside of their natural environment.

But it's not unusual for the islands not to have snow. In fact, June marks the start of their winter and the more familiar white-covered landscape should return within the next couple of weeks when temperatures usually reach -5°C.
