Catastrophic Molt
Chinstrap Penguin, South Orkney Islands, Subantarctic 2024
Penguins depend on their tightly packed feathers to stay warm and waterproof, so they can't afford any gaps caused by a gradual molt. Instead they replace their feathers all at once in a dramatic yearly molt. For two to four weeks, they stay on land, unable to swim or hunt, and live off their fat reserves. It’s a tough, energy-intensive process that leaves them vulnerable on land until their new feathers grow in. Leopard seals are often abundant in the area during this time of year looking for an easy meal.

Alcatraz
Iceberg, Ross Sea, Antarctica, 2021
This iceberg no longer exists. It has long since melted into the sea. Ice is inherently dynamic and can feel often alien and exotic, but in its many forms, we can often find deeply familiar elements—reminders that these places are not so far away after all.

Nearing the End
Sea bird and tabular berg, Antarctic Peninsula 2024
Tabular icebergs are massive, flat-topped slabs of ice that break off from the ice shelves stretching across Antarctica. Formed over thousands of years as compacted snow gradually builds into glacial ice, these structures can stretch for miles before eventually calving into the ocean. Once afloat, a combination of wave erosion, melting, and fracturing, breaks them down. Sometimes, a middle portion will collapse, creating arches like the enormous one seen here. It won't take long for this one to melt to nothing, a relatively quick process that contrasts with the immense time it took for them to form.

Chick in Crowd
Chinstrap Penguin, Bailey Head, Antarctica, 2021
If living on an active volcano weren't enough, this chick is surrounded by thousands of noisy neighbors, each nearly identical. It must navigate the chaos to find its own parents, calling out and hoping its parents can find their way back through the through a maze of pecking adults and hungry chicks. It’s an awkward, clumsy existence—fluffy, uncoordinated, and covered in poo—but one that’s essential for learning how to survive.

Emperor's Diamond
Emperor Penguin, Weddell Sea, Antarctica, 2024
Emperor penguins are rare to see on the ice when the sun is shining. Summer is the time of year when they are hunting at sea. The largest of penguins, this emperor stands at over 3ft (1m) tall. In temperatures that can plunge below –60°C and hurricane-force winds, it is steady and resilient in its icy kingdom. The reflection off a nearby berg creates a diamond shape, reminiscent of the jewels we associate with royalty.

Survived Winter
Arctic fox, Svalbard, 2024
It's spring in Arctic Svalbard, and this Arctic fox will soon shed its thick white winter coat, replacing it with a lighter grey-brown one that blends into the summer tundra. Though small, these foxes are remarkable survivors—some have trekked over 3,000 miles across shifting ice and open tundra in search of food. They often follow polar bears, scavenging scraps, a risky but vital strategy in a landscape where every meal counts. As the Arctic rapidly changes, it remains a powerful symbol of survival and adaptation—resilient and resourceful.
