Lift-off

"Huddled in a Zodiac boat in icy waters off the Antarctic peninsula, I waited patiently for an Adélie penguin to propel itself from the water to the safety of an iceberg. Persistence delivered as I captured this penguin in an almost levitational-like state, as if posing for the camera”

An Adélie penguin is captured mid-air, frozen in a perfectly vertical leap high above a floating ice floe in icy Antarctic waters. The penguin's body is upright, wings slightly pinned to its sides, with a spray of water droplets trailing beneath its feet. In the background, calm grey-blue ocean water stretches toward a foggy horizon with a massive, pale blue iceberg towering in the distance.
