"As the afternoon sun sets on Volunteer Point in the Falklands, king penguins that have been at sea foraging for food to support themselves and their newborn chicks, return to their colonies," says Portelli. "Pausing for a moment before walking back to their colony, this pair drew a striking pose against a pink sky."
