Emperor family
This award-winning photo of emperor penguins feeding was taken on an Antarctic glacier, tens of kilometers from the edge of the open ocean. The emperor penguin lays a single egg, and only about one in three chicks survive to adulthood.
The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the only penguin species that nests on Antarctic ice, far from open water. As the largest penguin, it weighs over 20 kilograms as an adult and can reach a height of up to 1.3 meters. The species is considered stable but classified as Near Threatened.
The female lays a single egg during the Southern Hemisphere winter, when Antarctica experiences extreme cold and perpetual darkness. The male takes over incubation, while the female heads to sea for a couple of months. When she returns with food, the egg has just hatched. The male, after a long fast, then goes to sea to feed. Eventually, both parents share the responsibility of feeding their chick until it becomes independent.
Fetching food is no simple task. Emperor penguins waddle or glide on their bellies for up to dozens of kilometers to reach the water’s edge. The deepest recorded dive is 565 meters, and they can stay underwater for up to 20 minutes. Once their stomachs are full of partially digested seafood, they regurgitate the meal directly into their chick's mouth.
