Arriving at Atka Bay, you're immediately struck by the vast wilderness. It seems impossible that anything could survive in such an environment... Jumping on a sled—or another mode of Arctic Uber—you scan the horizon. What first appears to be a patch of messy snow and ice begins to emit a low hum and chatter. Slowly, tufts of feathers and fluff take shape, and soon, hundreds—if not thousands—of Emperor Penguins come into view. Your eyes dart from one end of the colony to the other, unsure of where to look first: the haunting backdrop of icebergs, the young chicks sunbathing, or the sleek adults tobogganing their way through the crowds... Welcome to one of the least observed wildlife phenomena on Earth. Please note that all individuals photographed maintain a respectful distance from the penguins, in full compliance with IAATO regulations.
