EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment between an Adelie penguin parent and its adorable chick in the icy wilderness of Cape Adare, Antarctica. Taken during Scott's British Antarctic Expedition from 1910-1913 by expedition surgeon Murray Levick, this image showcases the incredible bond and intricate behaviors of these fascinating creatures. Levick dedicated his research to studying the sexual and rearing behavior of Adelie penguins during their breeding season. In this snapshot, we witness a tender parental interaction as the adult penguin stands tall over its fluffy offspring, protecting it from the harsh Antarctic elements. The stark contrast between the dark feathers of both parent and chick against the pristine white backdrop emphasizes their resilience in such extreme conditions. The frozen landscape serves as a reminder of how these remarkable birds have adapted to survive in one of Earth's harshest environments. Preserved by the Natural History Museum in London, this monochrome photograph not only showcases nature's beauty but also highlights important scientific observations made during Scott's Terra Nova expedition. It offers us a glimpse into the world of these enchanting seabirds while reminding us of our responsibility to protect their fragile habitat at all costs.
