This is a colour wildlife photo in landscape format of an adult Chinstrap Penguin (Pygoscelis antarcticus) waddling on a pack of snow down to the sea. Graham Land, Antarctica (2024).

To the right of centre is our chinstrap penguin and with the bed of well trodden (by penguins) snow covering the entire photo. The penguin is viewed obliquely with the front and right side in view, the camera about half a metre above the snow and two metre from the bird (actually much further but using a long lens and a cropped image). The bird is filling three-quarters of the height of the photo, half the width and is walking (waddling) from right to left and towards the camera. Our penguin has a black back extending upwards to form a cap on top of the head finishing over the eyes and at the top of the short, black beak. A thin black line runs from the back of the neck, under the eyes and beak and up the far side: hence the name. It's wings (flippers) are spread outwards to aid balance. The wings have a thin black line stretching along the leading edges while the undersides are white. The birds front is all white though with a few small orange 'penguin poo' stains scattered around, personal hygiene isn't a penguin thing. The two large pink feet are half buried in the deep snow.
