What's it like to live in Antarctica around Adélie penguins
from The Current
Adélie penguins are the smallest and most widespread penguin species in the Antarctic, and one place you find them is Cape Royds. Conservation biologist Louise K. Blight is one of very few people who's spent time in the remote field camp in Cape Royds, living alongside those penguins, and doing field research. We’ll talk to the author of “Where the Earth Meets the Sky: A Story of Penguins, People, and Place in Antarctica," about the magic and mystery of Antarctica, the power of solitude, and what it’s like to be courted by an emperor penguin?
