EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in the lives of Adelie penguins. Taken during Scott's British Antarctic Expedition from 1910 to 1913, expedition surgeon Murray Levick documented the sexual and rearing behavior of these fascinating creatures during their breeding season at Cape Adare, Antarctica. In this image, a group of Adelie penguins can be seen amidst the icy landscape, showcasing their natural habitat. The stark contrast between the dark feathers of these elegant birds and the pristine white ice creates a visually stunning composition. The photograph not only highlights the beauty of nature but also sheds light on important scientific research conducted by Levick. His study focused on understanding the parental care and behavior exhibited by Adelie penguins as they raise their offspring in such harsh conditions. Displayed by Natural History Museum, London/Science Photo Library, this remarkable print serves as a reminder of our planet's incredible biodiversity and showcases one small part of an extraordinary expedition that aimed to unravel some mysteries about life in one of Earth's most extreme environments - Antarctica.
