During a sea voyage, polar explorers from the National Antarctic Research Centre managed to capture an interesting moment: a group of penguins swinging on a small iceberg.

The footage was posted on the centre's Facebook page. "A whole penguin party gathered on the edge of the ice. The sub-Antarctic penguins, which you often see in our photos (as there are more than 5,000 of them around the station), were joined by Adélie penguins (there are very few of these birds on our island)," the polar explorers captioned the video.

The birds had a little rest, chatted among themselves, and went on to hunt for krill in the ocean.

"We hope this video will give you some joyful moments even in these difficult times. We thank the system mechanic of the 28th UAE and the cool driver Oleksandr Mylashevskyi for the video," the statement reads.
