EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this breathtaking shot captured by the talented Michael S. Nolan, we witness a moment of pure exhilaration as an Antarctic Shag spreads its wings and takes flight near Petermann Island in the icy wonderland of Antarctica. With its vibrant blue eyes gleaming against the snowy backdrop, this fearless sea bird defies all odds. The slow shutter speed adds a touch of magic to the image, creating a mesmerizing blur that perfectly captures the sheer speed and agility of this magnificent creature. As it soars through the crisp air above the glistening blue waters, every feather seems to dance with joy. Known for their unique ability to withstand even the harshest winters, these adult shags are true champions of survival. Unlike their counterparts who migrate north during colder months, they proudly call Antarctica's Peninsula home year-round. From high above on our vantage point at Petermann Island, we marvel at nature's wonders unfolding before us. The sight is nothing short of extraordinary – an elegant ballet performed by one brave avian acrobat. So let your imagination take flight alongside this incredible Antarctic Shag as it embraces freedom with each beat of its powerful wings!
