I am not only in love with wildlife photography, but also a sailor. So I decided to make an expedition of a lifetime and sail to Antarctica on a small sailing boat with a small crew. This adventure gave me a chance to stay close to nature and explore its beauty at full. In this image a Chinstrap penguin was meditating in the shore of the South Ocean in Antarctica. Despite of snowy and windy weather, it stayed relaxed and clam. It looked as if it was meditating. As a fun fact - the photo was taken just a couple of hours before the New Year
