Emperor of the Ice: How a Changing Climate Affects a Penguin Colony
Nicola Davies
In Antarctica, emperor penguins gather on sea ice in autumn to breed. One female travels to Halley Bay, finds a mate, and lays an egg. She returns to the ocean to feed while her mate keeps the egg warm, then comes back in July to raise their chick with him. The following year, climate change has made Halley Bay unsafe for breeding. The penguins must seek another place with dependable sea ice. Closing notes offer further information about emperor penguins, climate change, and actions people can take.
