Macaroni Penguin at an Observation Station
A macaroni penguin is pictured next to a polar signal mast near a research facility. The scene sets the bird near modern scientific equipment built in remote polar regions.
Crested Seabirds of the Antarctic Region
Macaroni penguins are easily recognized by their dramatic crest of yellow and orange feathers extending backward from the center of their forehead. They form huge colonies on sub-Antarctic islands, often returning to the exact same nest site every breeding season. Their unusual name comes from an 18th-century fashion term describing anyone who wore ornate or unusual headwear.
