A meeting of various Arctic and Antarctic animals on a snow-covered plain with a few large rocks.

The animals are an orca, an elephant seal, a "little penguin" a polar bear, an adélie penguin, a crested penguin, a fur seal, a walrus, and an emperor penguin.

They are gathered around an ice table on a rock, with the orca in a hole in the ice. They are all looking at the camera and waving. The crested, adélie, and little penguins, being small, are standing on the tabletop. Above the walrus is a sign made of a large block of ice on a pole with "Hands Off" carved into it. On the table is a brass desk plaque that reads "Polar Alliance". At the top of the image is the word "Tariffs?"

Lift-off

"Huddled in a Zodiac boat in icy waters off the Antarctic peninsula, I waited patiently for an Adélie penguin to propel itself from the water to the safety of an iceberg. Persistence delivered as I captured this penguin in an almost levitational-like state, as if posing for the camera”

An Adélie penguin is captured mid-air, frozen in a perfectly vertical leap high above a floating ice floe in icy Antarctic waters. The penguin's body is upright, wings slightly pinned to its sides, with a spray of water droplets trailing beneath its feet. In the background, calm grey-blue ocean water stretches toward a foggy horizon with a massive, pale blue iceberg towering in the distance.
