Travel photo with rear view of a cute Adelie penguin looking surprised at the bow of a cruise ship breaking through the ice and coming to a stop in Hanusse Bay at the South Pole. This beautiful and unique photo was taken during an expedition cruise in Antarctica on a beautiful sunny summer day in January with a brilliant blue sky. Once on the snow-covered ice, a lone Adelie penguin came running out of nowhere, looked surprised and admired the ship before continuing on its way in the soothing, snowy nature. It was a real goosebump moment.
