Latin description
Pagodroma nivea
The Snow Petrel (Pagodroma nivea) is a fascinating seabird found exclusively in Antarctica. With its pure white plumage and dark eyes, it is perfectly adapted to life in icy environments. Snow Petrels nest on steep cliffs and are often seen gliding over the Southern Ocean. Their grace in flight and ability to thrive in extreme conditions make them a sought-after subject for photographers and naturalists.
