What We’ll Do

Are you curious about each of the world's 18 penguin species? Charles Bergman, the author-photographer who traveled the world to see them in their natural habitats, is the guy to ask. Join us on a virtual journey that delves into his 20-year-long quest. Through storytelling and photography, he'll take us into the wilderness, from the Galapagos to South Africa and Antarctica, to discover these fascinating creatures.
