Albatross Eyed Varieties Browed Diomedea Diomedeidae Melanophrys
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1890, showcases three magnificent varieties of albatrosses from the Diomedeidae family: the wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans), the southern royal albatross (Diomedea epomophora), and the black-eyed or black-browed albatross (Diomedea melanophrys). The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a historical glimpse into the natural world of these enchanting seabirds. Albatrosses are renowned for their impressive wingspan, which can reach up to 12 feet, making them the largest flying birds in the world. They are also known for their graceful and effortless flight, spending most of their lives at sea, only returning to land to breed. The wandering albatross, featured in the center of the photograph, is the most widely distributed of all albatrosses. Its white plumage and pink bill make it a striking sight against the vast expanse of the ocean. To the left of the wandering albatross is the southern royal albatross, with its darker plumage and distinct yellow bill. This albatross species is found primarily in the Southern Ocean and is known for its regal appearance. The black-eyed or black-browed albatross, depicted on the right, is easily identified by its dark eyes and distinctive brow line. This albatross species is found in the Indian and Southern Oceans and is known for its agility in the water, making it an excellent fisherman. This photograph provides a fascinating window into the past, showcasing the beauty and diversity of these majestic birds. The albatrosses' historical significance extends beyond their captivating appearance, as they have long been a source of inspiration for poets, sailors, and naturalists alike. Today, they continue to be a symbol of freedom, grace, and the vastness of the natural world.
