Antarctic Penguins: A visual Journey

Since their discovery by European sailors in the late 15th century, penguins have captivated our interest. With their peculiar upright stance and often humorous waddling gait, these flightless birds look vaguely human and are among the world’s best loved creatures.

Contrary to popular belief, only six penguin species are indigenous to the Antarctic and few people have had the opportunity to observe them in their natural habitat.

Between the southern tip of South America and the Antarctic Peninsula lies the Scotia Sea, an area with the greatest diversity of penguins in the Antarctic region and thus the perfect destination for a “Penguin Safari”.

With exclusive and stunning images by wildlife photographer David Merron and words by biologist and seabird expert Fabrice Genevois, Antarctic Penguins: A Visual Journey takes you into the lives of these fascinating creatures which thrive in some of the most remote places on Earth.
