Highlight
Penguins, penguins, everywhere; floating on a piece of ice the size of Delaware! 130,000 breeding pairs of Adelie penguins are blocked from their mating territory by stationary icebergs. Each year these penguins attempt to travel from Antarctica to Ross Island where they procreate. Because they have not made it to Ross Island, the colony’s existence is threatened.
