The Emperor Penguins of Antarctica

Emperor penguins live under some of the harshest conditions on earth, over the sea ice in Antarctica, far from the open waters where they find their food. With this project, I try to show how harsh conditions are for live in a colony of 8,000 penguins in Gould Bay.
