A newly discovered 9,000-strong emperor penguin colony on Antarctica’s Princess Ragnhild coast. The colony has received its first human visitors, three team members from the polar research station Princess Elisabeth Antarctica. The colony of 1m-tall emperor penguins was first discovered in satellite imagery by scientists from the British Antarctic Survey and the US National Environment Research Council. However, the colony’s existence was unconfirmed until the visit from the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica team, who had been supporting the work of glaciologists carrying out scientific research on the Derwael ice rise | image by Alain Hubert
