A Gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis papua) pair reaffirm their bonds under the bight Antarctic sun. The penguin in the back has just come from a foraging trip and with a stomach full of food, it is ready to relieve its partner and watch over the chicks. While it is feeding the two chicks, the one who has been guarding the nest, will go to see to feed and will return to continue the rotation.
