Chinstrap penguins

Chinstrap penguins are my favorite penguin species. They are more of a sub-Antarctic species, but their numbers have been growing as the Antarctic Peninsula continues to warm.

Not all of #Antarctica is covered in snow and ice. The western Antarctic Peninsula has seen nearly 90% of its glaciers retreat as a result of rapid warming. This retreat has exposed soils that are now subject to plant colonization.
