The Story Behind This Touching Photo of Penguins

It’s safe to say that I am mildly (ok, wildly) obsessed with cats.

Like most people, I first knew Art Wolfe from his outstanding wildlife photos. But I really got to know him when I became editor of the old Outdoor Photographer magazine. On one of my first encounters with Art in person, I was in Florida for a nature photography convention. What happened there was simple but told me so much about him.

When you think of Patagonia, an area encompassing parts of Chile and Argentina, you might envision jagged mountains, vast skies and rugged coastlines. However, the UNESCO World Heritage site of Península Valdés hides a secret. Beneath these waters lies the story of an ancient marine giant, the southern right whale.
