An Emperor Penguin almost finished molting.
I had 3 goals when I came down to the Antarctic.
1. See penguins. Emperors and Adelies.
2. Stand on ice thats at least 2km thick.
3. Visit the South Pole.
So far 1 and 2 are crossed off my list. Tomorrow we are scheduled to go to the South Pole, so soon I’ll be checking that one off my list!



awhhh - the penguin is so cute! And what an accomplishment in your goals! Looking forward to seeing you at home!
what’s amazing to me is that YOU took this great shot of a penguin. how surreal is that??!
I can only imagine how you felt taking this photo. Not many people get to do something like this in life. Enjoy the moment - but don’t take too long because there are a bunch of people back here looking forward to seeing you again
that is totally amazing! You are only lucky guy to be able to check off all of those 3 items from your list.
I cannot believe that you are actually there. Way to go on completing those goals. I have never seen a picture of a penguin molting. It’s so cute and so lonely! So proud of you for being there.
An amazing photo!
