2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Gentoo Penguin, Port Lockroy, Antarctica
The end of summer

Species: Gentoo Penguin | Location: Port Lockroy, Antarctica

This mom and her chicks were posed perfectly, but you can't help but worry about the chicks chance s of survival. Photo was taken on February 14, nearing the end of the Antarctic summer. Obviously born late in the season, these young chicks will need to grow up quickly to have a chance to survive the coming winter.
