Hello Devin,
How fun to have a valley named after you!

I had mixed feelings about seeing the penguin walking across the ice. Of course, it was wonderful to see him/her, she was adorable! But, the dry valley area is not a good place for a penguin to be; there is nothing here for them to eat or drink. Unless he/she happens to stumble around in the right direction (back towards the ocean!), he/she may end up starving.
So - yes - I loved seeing it, but it was a bit sad as well. We can't find him/her now, so I am hoping he/she went in the right direction!
Cheers,
Robin
