The Snow Petrel is a small seabird native to the cold waters of the Southern Ocean. It is known for its striking white plumage, which helps it blend in with the ice and snow of its Antarctic habitat. These birds primarily feed on krill and fish, often foraging near ice edges.
Snow Petrels are highly adapted to their environment, with a wingspan of about 1.5 meters. They are often seen nesting on rocky cliffs and icebergs, where they lay a single egg. Their strong flying abilities allow them to cover vast distances in search of food, making them skilled travelers in the harsh Antarctic conditions.
