On a treacherous journey to the Antarctic, Ron Naveen and a rag-tag team
of field biologists track the impact of climate change on penguin
populations - one nest at a time.
This successful Kickstarter
trailer describes the feature length documentary, which has its world
premier at the 2015 Santa Barbara Film Festival. More information can be

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.
