Alex Wilson, Penguins of the Subantarctic Islands (ANIMAL 2022)

These three images were captured on a recent expedition to New Zealand's Subantarctic Islands. It was a trip of a lifetime that was often very challenging from a photography perspective. There are three species of penguin in these images; the Hoiho (Yellow Eyed Penguin), Snares Crested and Rockhopper. The Hoiho is sitting among mega-herbs on Enderby Island and is definitely something you wouldn't see anywhere else in the world.
