The penguin man: Bruno Zehnder

Article Abstract:

Bruno Zehnder's love of the Antarctic is manifested in his photographs of penguins, seals and other scenes of the region. Zehnder first went to Antarctica in 1975, and his photographs of penguins eventually became internationally famous. As the region became threatened with exploitation of its natural resources, the photographer fought to save it through his photographs of the potential devastation. On Oct 4, 1991, representatives of 39 countries signed a treaty to protect Antarctica for the next 55 years in a Santa Cruz Palace room that was filled with Zehnder's photographs.
