A single tiny penguin walks across an open expanse of snow and sea ice, dwarfed by a range of jagged, snow-streaked mountains. Low drifts and broken ice ridges are scattered across the plain, and the haze softens the distant peaks.

The sky is a dark slate blue with a band of peach and amber at the left, and the same warm light spreads across the ice in soft mauve and rose tones. The scale makes the scene feel vast, solitary and still.
