Penguin: A Story of Survival by Stefan ChristmannRead about another entry on the list.
More than just a collection of beautiful photographs, Christmann tells one of the most remarkable stories of the animal kingdom –that of the emperor penguin who raises his chicks through the most hostile winter on Earth. Christmann built the body of work for this volume while overwintering at the German research base at Atka Bay. The neighbouring emperor colony, 10,000 strong, was the focus for one of the BBC Natural History Unit Dynasties films, which Christmann helped film. The images of the chicks and the huddle are particularly beautiful, along with his stories of life and survival at the end of the world.
