Emperor's rule

Emperor Penguin, Antarctica

The holy grail of the penguin world is the aptly named, Emperor Penguin. On fast ice in the Ross Sea, this magnificent male came over to check us out while photographing a group of Emperors, giving a close-up experience that I will remember forever. He spent almost an hour with us, as he posed, preened and waddled through a truly epic photo session.

Contrary to the peaceful, dreamlike appearance of the final image, the conditions were absolutely awful with 50 knot winds created a swirling snow storm. Which created havoc with my camera gear and the ability to feel my fingers, but still what an epic experience!
