Finished painting a set of pendants for a commission about Shackleton's Trans-Antarctic expedition. Endurance, whales, Frank Hurley and penguins. Sea pottery officially captured my brain.

During 2022, argentinian researchers studying penguins in Antarctica found a melanistic gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis papua) with an unusual plumage coloration in Esperanza/Hope Bay, north of the Antarctic Peninsula. The unusual coloration of the penguin was identified as melanism, a genetic condition that causes an excess of melanin pigment in feathers, this phenomenon is also found in other vertebrates. This partially black gentoo pengui appeared to be in good health and exhibited normal behavior. According to scientists, melanism is unusual, and may occurs in one in 250,000 penguins.

I love the concept of Antarctica. Yeah, we've got these other continents that are warm and habitable for the most part, and then we've got one on the south of the planet and pretty far from most of the world's population that's freezing cold and inhospitable. 60-70% of the world's freshwater is frozen there in an ice sheet averaging over two kilometers thick, which is kept cold in part by the world's largest ocean current. The continent is mostly populated by scientists, penguins, and a variety of lichen. It's technically a desert.
