There is no shortage of penguin poop in Antarctica. In fact, you can see it from space, if you know where to look. Researchers often use satellite observations to study Adélie penguin populations and ...

Penguins could be playing a crucial role in stabilizing the climate in Antarctica when they go No. 2, according to new research. The ammonia in penguin guano -- or poop -- could help to reduce the ...

For 6,000 years, Adélie penguins have unknowingly documented the changing climate of Antarctica—not in journals or fossils, but through their poop. In a groundbreaking study published in Nature ...

Ten of thousands of penguins, clustered together on the Antarctic Peninsula, can produce some potent stenches. Now, scientists have found that all that waste could be powerful enough to cool the ...

The link between clouds and penguin poop is not an obvious one but it has important implications for climate change. New research has revealed the cloud-forming properties of penguin guano (poop) on ...

The Southern Ocean is one of the most remote places on Earth, but that doesn't mean it is tranquil. Tumultuous waves that can swallow vessels ensure that the Antarctic Peninsula has ...

Penguins might be doing more for the planet than we thought when it comes to fighting climate change. According to new research, the clouds around Antarctica could be fueled by penguin poop.

Antarctic warming has been a boon for one large colony of Adélie penguins, a finding that's surprising scientists. A recent study found that over the last 60 years, a colony of the birds on Beaufort ...

It’s hard to believe when each day of a trip tops the last, but Antarctica was just that: A show-stopper every day. The weather shifted on our second day. The wind picked up and the temperatures ...
