Fine art photographic print. At Elephant Island in the Antarctic Peninsula, a raft of Porpoising Penguins swims through the ocean hunting for food with an iceberg in the background.

Why You’ll Love It

• Porpoising Penguins – It is quite fascinating to see how penguins swim through the water. They glide under the water for a while, then jump into the air for a breathe before splashing back into the water. In this print, a raft of 6 or 7 penguins are porpoising together. (Raft is the term for a group of penguins swimming.)
• Historical Context – Elephant Island is where Ernest Shackleton and his crew took refuge after their ship was crushed by ice in 1915. Shackleton and 5 crew members went in a lifeboat 700 miles to South Georgia Island to get a rescue crew for those remaining. They survived four and half months on Elephant Island until they were finally rescued.
