Adelie penguins stand atop ice near the French station at Dumont daeUrville in Eas
Adelie penguins stand atop ice near the French station at Dumont dUrville in East Antarctica January 22, 2010. Russia and the Ukraine on November 1, 2013 again scuttled plans to create the worlds largest ocean sanctuary in Antarctica, pristine waters rich in energy and species such as whales, penguins and vast stocks of fish, an environmentalist group said. The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources wound up a week-long meeting in Hobart, Australia, considering proposals for two " marine protected areas" aimed at conserving the ocean wilderness from fishing, drilling for oil and other industrial interests.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of Adelie penguins majestically standing atop ice near the French station at Dumont dUrville in East Antarctica. Taken on January 22,2010, this image showcases the pristine beauty of this remote region. However, it also serves as a reminder of the ongoing environmental challenges faced by Antarctica and its unique ecosystem. The photograph takes on added significance when considering recent events. On November 1,2013, plans to establish the world's largest ocean sanctuary in Antarctica were once again thwarted by Russia and Ukraine. These waters are not only rich in energy resources but also home to an array of incredible species such as whales and penguins, along with abundant fish stocks. Environmentalists have long advocated for marine protected areas that would safeguard these fragile ecosystems from industrial interests like fishing and oil drilling. The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources convened in Hobart, Australia for a week-long meeting to discuss proposals aimed at preserving this ocean wilderness. As we admire this stunning image captured by Pauline Askin from Reuters Images, let us reflect upon our responsibility to protect and preserve these precious environments for future generations. The fate of Antarctica's remarkable wildlife hangs in the balance as discussions continue regarding its conservation amidst competing political agendas and economic interests.
