About LichtenHansen - Allan Hansen

Photos of wildlife (penguins, albatrosses and more) and landscapes from Antarctica and other remote places like Nepal, South Georgia Island, Falkland Islands and Denmark.

Nature and wildlife photos by LichtenHansen. My name is Allan Hansen and I live in Arnakke, Denmark. I am a nature and wildlife photographer with focus on bird and animal behavior, and light, composition and beauty in an unusual landscape.

Threatened by extinction Save the Albatross 100,000 albatrosses die each year on fishing hooks. They are being killed in such vast numbers that they can't breed fast enough to keep up. This is putting them in real danger of extinction.

Camera houses: Canon EOS 1D Mark III, Canon EOS 40D Camera lenses: EF 24-70mm f2.8L, 70-200mm f4.0L USM, 300mm f4.0L , EF 100mm f2.8, EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-4.5.

Penguins and albatrosses are my favorite nature subjects, and you can find a lot of photos of these fascinating birds in my galleries. I saw my first penguin on a 2 week hiking trip in a very remote place of New Zealand in 1990. It was completely unexpected for me to see a penguin on a forest path. It was a Yellow-eyed penguin and I have been a penguin fan ever since.

A dream came through when I in 2003/03 got the chance to go on an Antarctic cruise and visited Falkland Islands, South Georgia Island, South Orkney Island and The Antarctic Peninsula and saw millions of penguins and albatrosses. More than I could ever dream of. In 2007/08 I repeated this journey, and this time with my wife. Both trips were arranged by Cheesemans' Ecology Safaris, a high-quality wildlife tour company based in Saratoga, California. Great people and highly recommended.

Prizes: First Prize in Panoramio's contest in january 2009 with Photo of landscape from Lemaire Channel in Antarctica.
