Chinstrap Penguin porpoising

Category: Spontaneous Moments

 

Photo and caption by Jean Collin

One sunny afternoon on a sailboat in the Antarctic peninsula, the surface of the sea was very calm and was reflecting the plain blue sky, I was trying to anticipate the trajectory of the porpoising penguins to catch that moment, when they leap out of the water to breathe. They are so fast, like bullets, it was amazing!

Location: Antarctic peninsula
