An environmental image that forces the viewer to empathize with the penguin's plight as it braves the vast and hostile Antarctic landscape.

My name is Chris, and I am a homeless nomad who travels from one seasonal job to the next, with lots of traveling between jobs. This is one of my favorite images from half a year spent working in the US Antarctic Program. Though they seem like carefree, jovial birds, in reality they are some of the toughest animals on earth, and I think this image portrays this well.
