It is no easy task to film thousands of Adelie penguins in their remote Antarctic habitat. In fact, only with the support of the U.S. Antarctic Program is it even possible.

In this roughly five-minute behind-the-scenes film, photographers Sophie Darlington and Julie Moniere, who both spent a month in Antarctica filming Adelie penguins and other wildlife for Disneynatures Penguins, talk about their daily work and OPP's support: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijQu9Fp1V0k&feature=youtu.be.

The film opened earlier this month.
