Photographer Robert McCabe's best shot

The first time I saw this emperor penguin was inside our hut on Ross Island in the Antarctic. He was a full metre tall and just stood around looking at us all, being very friendly. The year was 1959 and I had travelled to Antarctica with the navy at the end of October, when summer was just beginning. We took lots of shots, making the most of the penguin's friendliness. I've even got one of him standing at the bar with all the navy people drinking to his health. He was very co-operative, if slightly bewildered. He just kept acting like he wanted more photos taken....... http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2011/feb/02/robert-mccabe-best-shot-photography
