Chinstrap Penguin Pair - Antarctic Snow Wildlife Photography
Two chinstrap penguins stand close together on a snowfield in the South Shetland Islands, the dark band running under each bird's jaw clearly visible. Pygoscelis antarcticus is one of the most numerous penguin species on Earth, with breeding colonies along the Antarctic Peninsula that can hold over a million birds. The South Shetlands sit on the volcanic chain arcing north from the Peninsula toward Tierra del Fuego, and the rookeries there mark the species' northern stronghold. Photographed at eye level from a snow ridge to keep the two birds isolated against clean white. A working field portrait — two birds, one suit each.
