Salvin's albatross (Thalassarche salvini) is a large seabird that can be found across the Southern Ocean. Long considered to be a subspecies of the shy albatross, from the mid-1990s experts began classifying it as a separate species. The species' population is thought to be declining, and the IUCN has classified it as vulnerable.Photo: JJ Harrison
