Scientists discover a new penguin colony from SPACE
UK Daily Mail ^ | 1/20/2023 | Sam Tonkin

Emperor penguins need sea ice to breed and are located in areas that are very difficult to study because they are remote and often inaccessible and can experience temperatures as low as −76°F (−60°C).

Previous discoveries of emperor penguin colonies show gaps between them, leading scientists to suspect that groups like to keep at least 60 miles (100km) between themselves.

I love penguins. I’ve been to five continents. I only have South America and Antarctica left. Someday I’m going to do a South American cruise and hit both really to see the penguins in Antarctica. I did see the penguins in sea world. Lol.

Yup. And now we know why they changed the name to UAPs.

Unidentified Aerial Penguins.

Interesting BBC documentary. They have produced some interesting ones over the years.

I especially enjoyed the one about BBC: Spaghetti-Harvest in Ticino:

I remember a big huge news article about a “gay” penguin couple. What about them?

Among the 66 is a new colony of around 500 penguins which has just been discovered at Verleger Point, West Antarctica.

How can there possibly be a West Antarctica?

Every direction from the Pole is North.
