A work of art

This second installment to the famous "March of the Penguins" focuses on the penguin chicks. The adorable creatures can melt a heart of stone - or ice.

At one point, a little chick tumbles on the ice in a hilarious, endearing way.

I was blown over by the way in which the camera captured the scenery, making every shot the best shot.

The work and effort that went into making this documentary cannot be overstated.

The camera not only captures amazing details, such as the penguin chick fluffy down and feathers, but also offers an eagle view of the multitudes of birds in the colony, and even under water action of staggering beauty.

The image of the sunset (or is it sunrise?) over the endless ice, for example, looks like a painting.

Most of the scenery is obviously something very few people will be able to experience in their lifetime.
