Stranded Penguin Races to Leap Across a Cracking Ice Shelf to Rejoin His Friends on the Other Side

The panicked penguin watched helplessly as the group was leaving and raced against the pull of the separation. The stranded bird found the spot and leaped seamlessly over the last part that hadn’t yet broken free.

This penguin had to make a daring leap of faith after the ice split!
