It may be the Antarctic, but this snowy snap of a cute penguin couple holding flippers is enough to melt even the coldest of hearts. The feathered friends enjoyed a romantic clinch, opting for a moment of solitude while dozens of other penguins gathered nearby.
According to Caters News Agency, the heartwarming display of affection took place in Port Lockroy – a natural harbor in the Antarctic Peninsula – and was captured on camera by professional photographer Silviu Ghetie. The 43-year-old Romanian usually takes pictures of people, not penguins, but couldn’t resist snapping this magic moment while on a photography expedition.
