Antarctic Penguins Wallpaper
This Antarctic penguins wallpaper features a group of emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri) on the sea ice — four up close and two more receding into the distance. The scale of that glacial wall behind them making their already enormous size look almost modest. The largest of all penguin species, emperors are the only birds that breed during the Antarctic winter, enduring conditions no other creature on earth would attempt. However, the Australian Antarctic Program recently uplisted them to Endangered as climate change erodes the sea ice they depend on. The yellow-orange ear patches, the immaculate white fronts, the unhurried posture — these birds look like they own the coldest place on earth, because they do.
