More to share!

The second half of the news has to do with a program that I watched last night. Return to Penguin City was so overwhelming, I just have to do a plug here for the research that these dedicated scientists are performing, and not too distant from our Gentoo Penguin station. highly recommend that everyone who loves penguins to watch. I've never witnessed a broadcast that was so focused on penguins.

Here is the advert:


Millions of Adelie penguins storm the beaches of Antarctica every October, as they undertake an annual migration to their breeding grounds. For over half a century, researchers have been coming here, hoping to unlock the secrets of these penguins' lives. Braving fierce storms, outsmarting predators, and scaling rogue icebergs — these birds are extraordinary survivors. But they may now face the ultimate challenge. In Return to Penguin City, scientists Grant Ballard and Viola Toniolo discover that rapid climate changes may not only affect the penguins in Antarctica, but could also have major repercussions well beyond this remote corner of the world.
