An endangered yellow-eyed penguin under a starry sky. “Unlike other penguin species which are social, the endangered yellow-eyed penguin leads a rather solitary lifestyle,” says photographer Kimball Chen. “After a full day of foraging out in the Pacific Ocean, a lone individual comes ashore to dry its wet feathers on an ancient petrified forest at Curio Bay, New Zealand. The tide pools reflect the green glow of a shooting star and the radiance of the Aurora Australis, while the Milky Way stretches above.”
