Photo by @Cristina Mittermeier // I tried to be super stealth in the freezing water as I slowly approached this pair. Almost as large as its mom, this baby gentoo penguin still has a few weeks to grow before it is ready to fend for itself. The parents take turns to go out to sea to feed. When they return to the colony, they regurgitate the food into the hungry baby’s mouth. Gross, I know, but quite effective, as this method of feeding allows the chick to grow rapidly. It will eventually shed its fuzzy down plumage to reveal an adult feather coat. A marine protected area here, would go a long way towards providing resilience to these animals against the changes brought forth by climate change and industrial fishing. On assignment for @ナショナルジオグラフィック and @NatGeoPristineSeas with @PaulNicklen, @Keith Ladzinski, @Andy_Mann and @CraigWelch.
