Chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica). These birds feed almost exclusively on krill. They inhabit the Antarctic and Antarctic islands. They migrate north to overwinter at sea, although some vagrants have been found as far north as Australia. They build their nests out of pebbles so that the eggs are insulated from the frozen ground and snow. Photographed on Deception Island, Antarctic Peninsula, Antarctica.
