Description
At the top of a mountain deep in the Antarctic peninsula was this Chinstrap penguin colony, filled with hundreds of nesting pairs going about their daily lives. The commute up is hard enough for us, let alone for a little penguin, although they proved that they are masters at a difficult climb and actually favour it. The higher up the nest, the more success rates for chicks. Settings: 1/3200, F5, ISO250 Taken at 100mm
