Revealing look at African penguins FOX25 Morning News Wednesday, 21 Oct 2009, 9:18 AM EDT
FOX25, myfoxboston - They're lovable, quirky and a tad strange. Everyone loves penguins, and as we learn more about them, we're starting to understand how resilient the species really is.
In the new documentary, “On the Wings of Penguins,” executive producer Robert Kline takes a fascinating look at the South African penguin and its survival.
The Penguin Camera is located on Torgersen Island (64°46’S, 64°04’W), off the coast of Anvers Island and less than a mile from Palmer Station. Torgersen Island is home to a colony of Adélie penguins numbering approximately 2,500. This camera is seasonal and operates primarily from October to February, the Adélie breeding season. The camera is solar-powered and may sometimes experience brief outages due to inclement weather. School classrooms and other educational demonstrations will often take control of the camera, moving it to gain better views of the colony.
