Awww, it’s so cute! But as a previous poster noted, won’t it be less likely to survive? I’d think sunburn alone would be a problem. Oh, well…. Merry Christmas, Noah! Thanks for your wonderful blog!

Wonderful images! I wonder how the albino condition will affect the chick’s ability to withstand the extremes of the environment. Adorable photo of the siblings!

Noah,
Great find. I found two Adelie chicks in the Weddell Sea a few years that were both albino. Most we find are leucistic but true albinos are quite rare. I look forward to seeing more photos. Have a great Christmas.
