A group of moulting king penguins standing in a cold stream in the mountainous landscape of Salisbury Plain, South Georgia Island.

To survive in the very cold water the penguins feathers have special features to keep them insulated. When they are molting they must stay out of the water to not disrupt their molting phase.
