In 2006, we erected an automated camera at Cape Royds to record the comings and goings of penguins. We are especially interested in the number of birds that return to molt after we depart each year in February.

Penguin Science | Exploring Species Climate Change Options
Like animals everywhere, Antarctic penguins are adjusting, or not, to changes in their habitat brought by warming temperatures. With extensive field research on their existing colonies, and a 45,000 year-old record contained in deposits of their bones and egg shells, we know more about how Antarctic penguins will adjust to rapid climate change than almost any other creature on Earth.
