Antarctic wildlife

Although we study extinct species, over the course of our expeditions, we at the AP3 have become captivated by the modern Antarctic environment and its variety of extraordinary living animals. Here, we share a few of our photos of Antarctic wildlife in the hope that they will help to inspire the same fascination in others.

All photos in this gallery were taken by AP3 team members during our expeditions, particularly Pat O’Connor in 2009 and Meng Jin in 2011 and 2016. They may take a bit to load, but we think they’re worth the wait!
