Scenes from Antarctica

Posted by Miss Cellania in Pictures, Travel & Places on November 12, 2008 at 10:18 am


The Boston Globe has a roundup of lovely photographs of Antarctica from various sources. The penguin in the first picture has a sad story.

After waiting for over two weeks for his mate to return from the sea and relieve him of nest duty, this Adelie penguin’s hunger helps him make the decision to abandon his egg in search of fish and krill in the sea.

Other photos depict the Aurora Australis, Antarctic workers, and other wildlife. Link -via the Presurfer

    I saw this the other day. The Big Picture is another one of my favorite sites.
