Penguins - you make my day (actually, entire summer!)

2/3/2023

The penguins around station never cease to amaze me. They can be graceful one moment, and clumsy the next. When they are in the water they sometimes porpoise: they shoot out of the water, are airborne briefly, then return back into the water. Such a pretty sight. They sure make my summer. I hope you enjoy my penguin video on instagram.

About me

Growing up watching nature documentaries, I find myself now immersed in nature's splendor. As an ecologist I study how ecosystems function. Here I share with you my love of doing research in Antarctica - a place of sheer beauty

Not all of #Antarctica is covered in snow and ice. The western Antarctic Peninsula has seen nearly 90% of its glaciers retreat as a result of rapid warming. This retreat has exposed soils that are now subject to plant colonization.
