This week’s photo shows an erect-crested penguin on New Zealand’s subantarctic Bounty Islands.

The image celebrates Seaweek 2014 (1–9 March 2014) — a national celebration of our marine environment with hundreds of events taking place around the country.

It also represents the wildlife now protected as a result of the three new subantarctic marine reserves established this week.
