EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tender moments between Adelie penguins and their young during the early 1900s, in the icy wilderness of the Antarctic. The image, estimated to have been taken between 1907 and 1909, offers a rare glimpse into the lives of these fascinating creatures during a time of great exploration and discovery. The backdrop of the photograph is the unforgiving polar landscape, with its towering icebergs and vast expanses of snow and ice. Amidst this inhospitable environment, the Adelie penguins huddle together for warmth and protection, their young ones nestled safely between them. The parents, with their distinctive black and white plumage, stand guard over their offspring, ensuring their safety and survival in the harsh conditions. This photograph holds significant historical value, as it was taken during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, a period marked by intense scientific and geographical discovery. Notable figures such as Sir Ernest Shackleton and Roald Amundsen were among the explorers who made their mark on the continent during this time. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of life in the most extreme of environments. The image, available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the beauty and fragility of the natural world and the importance of preserving it for future generations. It offers a unique perspective into the past, transporting us back to a time of exploration and discovery, and reminding us of the wonders that still lie hidden in the far reaches of our planet.
