Emperor penguin adult and chicks, Snow Hill Island, Antarctica
For World Teachers' Day, we offer this photo of emperor penguin chicks getting a lesson from a wise and tolerant adult—at least that's how it looks to us. The tallest and heaviest of the penguins, emperors lay their eggs during the bone-splitting Antarctic winter. This particular image was taken at the emperor breeding colony on Snow Hill Island.
