Meet our feathery protagonists, a proud adult Giant Petrel and its adorable chick perched on their cozy nest at Harmony Cove. With feathers fluffed up to withstand the freezing temperatures of Nelson Island, these protective parents are fully committed to nurturing their precious offspring. The young chick looks up with wide-eyed curiosity as it receives guidance and warmth from its doting parent. It's a beautiful display of parental devotion amidst the vast Southern Ocean.
