Photo by @FransLanting A mass of king penguin chicks has turned their backs against a snow squall on South Georgia Island near Antarctica. They were all born the year before, and during the summer months their parents fed them as much as they could before the food chain collapsed at the end of the season of plenty. During the long winter months the parents go way offshore and the chicks barely receive any nourishment. Yet amazingly many of the chicks survive this ordeal, and now they are awaiting their parents to come back to nurture them to independence. I’ve shared the epic survival story of emperor penguins with you in the past, but to me, king penguins are just as unique in their adaptation to extreme circumstances. Follow me @FransLanting for more amazing stories from South Georgia, the island of Kings.
