    Hi @Whereismom

    Actually, I don't see such a name in the team list but better to wait for an answer from a scientist.

    Cheers,

    I see from your map of camera placements that there are none at Cape Royds on this site (PW). Thanks.

    At the moment, we do not have cameras set up in that area of Antarctica and are not affiliated with the science team there. We initially set up the camera network to monitor colonies in areas that are not typically monitored or have never been monitored in the past. Colonies at Cape Royds have been monitored for many years as part of an ongoing long term study, which has become a sort of "gold standard" of penguin research. Therefore, we do not need a camera there at the moment because we can instead refer to past and present research on the Cape Royds colonies.
