Description
This photograph shows the beautiful world of a Chinstrap penguin on Half Moon Island, one of the South Shetlands, near Antarctica. Chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) take their name from the line of black feathers that run across their white chins like the strap of a hat. They are about two feet tall and weigh about eight pounds. Each day, in order to feed, they have to make the long trek between their colonies near the top of the island and the ocean.
