Looking up to the clear blue skies, these penguins think there is something amiss.

Pictures taken on the islands of South Georgia, a well-known breeding colony for royal penguins, show around 200,000 of the birds that were taken by photographer Sergey Kokinskiy, lacking the usual backdrop of 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.
