"Penguin: A Story of Survival, book

by Stefan Christmann (Author)

  • 150 images from Wildlife Photographer of the Year winner Stefan Christmann.

  • The life of emperor penguins goes through different phases: from finding a partner to raising young penguins.

  • The personal experiences shown by the photographer and his insights into the mystical Antarctic winter

There is only one bird species that hunts in the summer and rears its young in the winter: the Emperor Penguin. These extraordinary animals survive the relentless Antarctic climate, braving an average temperature of -49 degrees Celsius, thanks to their special adaptation to the cold, as well as their loving, attentive, and helpful interactions with each other and with their offspring. For this impressive penguin book, award-winning photographer and geophysicist Stefan Christmann accompanied a penguin colony in Antarctica for several months, capturing different stages of their lives. His sensitive images are a beautiful document of penguin behavior as well as the rugged, hostile ice landscapes they call home. Text in English and German.
