Antarctic Chinstrap Cleaning Flightless Grooming Half Moon Penguins Peninsula Pygoscelis Walking

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful snapshot captured by Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment, we witness a heartwarming scene of Chinstrap Penguins engaging in their daily grooming routine. These flightless birds from the Pygoscelis genus are known for their impeccable cleanliness and meticulous attention to personal hygiene. As if following an unwritten code of conduct, these dapper creatures gather on the snowy shores of Half Moon Island in Antarctica's stunning Antarctic Peninsula. With the backdrop of a mesmerizing half-moon shining above, it seems as though nature itself is applauding their efforts. The penguins' synchronized movements create a comical yet endearing spectacle. They waddle with purpose, each bird determined to find the perfect spot to clean its feathers. It's as if they're attending an exclusive spa retreat designed exclusively for them! Their diligent cleaning rituals not only keep them looking sharp but also serve practical purposes. By removing dirt and parasites from their plumage, these charming avian beauticians ensure optimal insulation against the harsh Antarctic elements. So next time you feel overwhelmed by your own beauty regimen, take inspiration from these adorable Chinstrap Penguins! Remember that even in remote corners of our planet like Half Moon Island, wildlife knows how to have fun while taking care of themselves – proving once again that self-care truly transcends all boundaries!
