Antarctic ice melt may have killed thousands of emperor penguin chicks | CBC News

The loss of ice in one region of Antarctica last year likely resulted in none of the emperor penguin chicks surviving in four colonies, researchers reported Thursday. Emperor penguins hatch their eggs and raise their chicks on the ice that forms around the continent each Antarctic winter and melts in the summer months. Researchers used satellite imagery to look at breeding colonies in a region near Antarctica's Bellingshausen Sea. The images showed no ice was left there in December during the Southern Hemisphere's summer, as had occurred in 2021. "Overall, the five colonies have around 10,000 pairs of adults, so there would have been around 10,000 chicks. We think that 820 — the ones counted at Rothschild Island — may have survived, which means the death toll would have been over 9,000 chicks," said Peter Fretwell in a statement. Fretwell is a researcher at the British Antarctic Survey and co-author of the study published Thursday in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.

Feeling like you shouldn't mess

With the timing

Feeling like you're dead when the night comes

Feeling like you shouldn't negotiate

Feeling like you're drowning too often

Feeling like you can't touch the bottom

Wouldn't it be wise to just cry for help?

You suffer with sophistication

Tell it like you live in a nightmare

You dream of liberation

You love your preoccupation

Looking like you live in a daydream

You see with your soft demeanour

Settle, cease and surrender

It's been a long time since you spoke up

Or revealed where you hurt

You feel with an extra feeling

Sensitive to the meaning

It's been a long time since you cried out

Feeling like you shouldn't mess

With the timing

Feeling like you're dead when the night comes

Feeling like you shouldn't negotiate

Feeling like you're drowning too often

Feeling like you can't touch the bottom

Wouldn't it be wise to just cry for help?

You see with your soft demeanour

Settle, cease and surrender

It's been a long time since you spoke up

Or revealed where you hurt

You feel with an extra feeling
