Thought everything was all white in Antarctica? Photographer shows off stunning images of icy continent coloured by pink penguin poop and massive red and green blooms of algae
Pink colours from excrement of Adelie penguins, and caused by their diet of krill
Huge blooms of algae can change the colour of vast areas of ice within hours
It is traditionally seen as a vast, white expanse of nothingness.
