mrdecent Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 P-p-p-posing for their close-ups, these are the penguins who live on the remote island of South Georgia in the South Atlantic. And while pictures of the inhabitants of Britain’s most outlying colony are common – these are possibly the most stunning ever taken. British photographer, Nick Garbutt, became very friendly with his subjects after travelling to witness the massive colony, made up of around a quarter of a million birds. In one image, taken in natural harbour Salisbury Plain, he can be seen directly in front of two king penguins. In others, they troop to the shore and back to feed their hungry offsprint, while one pair put on a spectacular display of courtship – almost creating a mirror image of each other. The king penguins are shown to be intimate creatures, and greet each other by rubbing their stomachs together and arching their beautiful gold crested necks.[img]http://www.zevs.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/March-Of-The-Penguins1.jpg[/img][img width=630 height=293]http://www.zevs.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/March-Of-The-Penguins2.jpg[/img][img width=630 height=272]http://www.zevs.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/March-Of-The-Penguins3.jpg[/img][img width=630 height=273]http://www.zevs.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/March-Of-The-Penguins41.jpg[/img][img width=630 height=235]http://www.zevs.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/March-Of-The-Penguins5.jpg[/img][img width=630 height=414]http://www.zevs.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/March-Of-The-Penguins6.jpg[/img]
