Emperor penguins with chicks at Auster Rookery, which is located on sea-ice and sheltered by grounded icebergs
A view of ice cliffs to the east of Mawson from the edge of the sea ice that has recently formed
A tiny emperor penguin chick on the feet of a parent peeking out from beneath feathers
The ice cliffs and newly formed sea ice to the west of Mawson station
