Polar Shoal and Icy Ridges
A chinstrap penguin occupies a flat frozen shoal surrounded by dramatic ice slabs and frozen ridges. A newly caught fish rests nearby on the sea ice, highlighting the hunting activities of seabirds in frigid Antarctic ocean waters.
Cold-Water Hunting and Facial Markings
Chinstrap penguins get their name from the narrow black band of feathers running under their chin, resembling a tiny helmet strap. These active swimmers spend hours diving into freezing ocean waters to catch fish and krill. Returning to flat ice shoals gives them a stable platform to consume food and rest between deep feeding dives.
