Albatross Family @FransLanting - I traveled to the Leeward Islands of Hawaii, a chain of atolls that stretches for 1,200 miles between Hawaii and Japan, to document the lives of Laysan albatrosses. Albatrosses roam the open ocean by themselves and only come ashore on remote islands to find a partner and reproduce. But once they choose a mate, they maintain an intricate partnership that lasts a lifetime. Here on Midway Island, a Laysan couple nurtures their young chick.

A large seabird with very long, narrow wings; much larger than shearwaters and petrels. Unmistakable with white body, dingy pinkish bill, and dark markings on underwing. Fairly common offshore throughout North Pacific, as far north as the Bering Sea. Occasionally seen from shore. Breeds mainly in Hawaii, where it is often confiding and unafraid of humans. Nests on the ground in coastal areas of Kauai and northern Oahu; abundant in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Smaller colonies also…
