Black-browed albatross in flight
Black-browed albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys) in flight. This seabird glides effortlessly on strong updrafts created near the cliffs where it breeds. This albatross has a wingspan of 2 metres, allowing it to soar on the winds of the southern oceans. It feeds on marine crustaceans called krill, and breeds on Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the majestic beauty of a Black-browed albatross in flight. With its wings gracefully spread wide, this seabird effortlessly glides through the air on strong updrafts near its breeding cliffs. The sheer size of its 2-meter wingspan allows it to soar with ease across the windswept southern oceans. As an integral part of the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic ecosystems, this remarkable albatross species feeds primarily on krill, a type of marine crustacean. It calls these remote islands home during breeding season, creating a spectacle against the backdrop of icy landscapes and turbulent seas. The vibrant blue sky serves as a striking contrast to the bird's dark plumage, accentuating every detail captured by Science Photo Library's lens. This single black-browed albatross appears suspended in mid-air, showcasing its mastery of flight and evoking awe-inspiring wonder. With elements from biology to ornithology at play, this image is not just visually stunning but also offers insight into the fascinating world of avian life and marine biology. It reminds us that nature holds countless wonders waiting to be discovered in even the most remote corners of our planet. This photograph serves as a testament to both the photographer's skill and Nature's ability to create such extraordinary creatures like the Black-browed albatross.
