On our voyage to the Antarctic Peninsula, we weren't expecting to see Emperor Penguins because the closest colony was over 350km away. So we were so excited to find two Emperor Penguins, Aptenodytes forsteri, resting on an ice floe in Crystal Sound, Antarctica early one morning. Later that day, one of the penguins was still hanging out so our expedition leader made the call to lower the zodiacs so we could get an up-close encounter. This three image Emperor Penguin triptych is the result.
This triptych received an acceptance award in the Nelson National Triptych Salon, an annual competition run by the Nelson Camera Club.
One of the images from this triptych is available as a fine-art print, canvas, or framed print in my Print Shop:
