Penguin - Stefan Christmann

Penguins up close: an extraordinary photo documentationThe life of emperor penguins in different phases: from finding a partner to raising young penguins

A unique photographic documentation of an emperor penguin colony in Antarctica with emotional texts about the life and survival of the animals in the eternal ice.

There is only one bird species that hunts in summer and rears its young in winter: the Emperor Penguin. These extraordinary animals survive the relentless Antarctic climate, thanks to their special adaptation to the cold, as well as their loving, attentive, and helpful interaction with each other and with their offspring.

Emperor penguins have fascinated laypeople and scientists alike for decades. The penguins live in the most ruthless place on earth, Antarctica, where the average winter temperature is 49 degrees Celsius. They are even able to raise their young there in the middle of the Antarctic winter. While you spend the summer months in the sea and go hunting there, you spend the winter on land, during this time you hardly eat any food, but you breed and raise your young. Emperor penguins are the only animals that breed in the Antarctic winter.
