100 For the Ocean was co-founded by photographers Paul Nicklen, Cristina Mittermeier and Chase Teron. The project is a collaboration between 100 renowned photographers to raise money for ocean conservation. This photo by Nicklen shows an emperor penguin propelling itself out of Antarctica’s icy waters. “To have communities come together like this, all for the purpose of good, to amplify and help grow other organizations, is a really beautiful thing,” said Nicklen in a press release.
