Photo by paulnicklen / As winter turns to spring in Antarctica's Ross Sea, baby penguins poke tiny beaks through delicate eggshells and begin exploring their vast new polar surroundings. Meanwhile, four-foot-tall, 80-pound parents consider the precious fruit of their months-long labor with great curiosity. I am awestruck by the unfaltering dedication and commitment emperor penguins demonstrate for their young—they are fascinated by their chicks and marvel at every moment. Follow me paulnicklen to see how love belongs to every species. #penguin #emperorpenguin #rosssea #antarctica #fascination
