Adélie Penguins, Paulet Island, Antarctica

Adélie Penguins, Paulet Island, Antarctica - 1st February 2019
150,000 pairs of Adélie Penguins breed on Paulet Island, along with Antarctic Shags, Subantarctic and South Polar Skuas. The ruined hut was used by the shipwrecked Swedish Antarctic Expedition in 1903.

This is probably the finest video of Adelie penguins on the internet. Such awesome creatures, thanks for sharing :)

その年に生まれた若鳥だけでグループ行動するみたいですね。
一羽又は少数で遥か遠くまで冒険してるのが興味深い。
以前より頭数が増えてる気がする、逆に氷床が少ない。

I have just finished watching Sir Richard Attenborough on Frozen Planet. Due to the fast melting Antarctica, these beautiful Adelie penguins are rapidly becoming extinct. In the 1970s they lived in their thousands and now only in their hundreds. A scientist who has been studying them since 1974 could not hold back the tears whilst discussing their history and future. They currently exist in such small numbers it upsets me knowing that climate change is responsible. No, actually the human population is responsible.

7:18 For what are these piling up? It is dangerous for penguins.

[@BrianPwildlife]

The stone hut was built by shipwreck survivors in 1903 and is a historic monument. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulet_Island. The island is visited frequently, so presumably if there were any danger of collapse, it would be attended to.
