The guardian has a piece on New Emperor Penguin Colonies dicovered in Antartica.

There is an open paper published at ZSL ::

Discovery of new colonies by Sentinel2 reveals good and bad news for emperor penguins

The paper is quite accessible and describes the studies methods (how to) really clearly. Essentially no one got cold but headaches from the eye strain, must have been constant !

The dark irony of this is that most of the new (and small) colonies are vulnerable to our activities . Those colonies are about as far as you can get from humans and still be on earth.

(Great just in time for the bookeeping.)

Business as usual can not go on.

That would be beyond criminal.

Beyond human.

! Its not only penguins that crap in their own nest !
