WOW! great bit of research gardenmaeve. I'll do the video of the mosses on Monday. But I'm intrigued by studying penguin poop that's 5,000 years old. The poop-art was spectacular - all those multi-coloured trails 😃

And there we are, trying to count penguins from our computer... They can as well do it from space...

It's great to see that there are other projects working to save these magnificent birds and their environment. We are able to supply accurate information about eggs and chicks over the breeding season. And for the first time we have scientists who can sit out through the Antarctic night and indeed 24 hours of every day without a day off so that we know details what they do at that time, and those scientists are - us 😃
