company of penguins in Cecilia

Another day of work here in Antarctica: sit and watch a colony of Adelie penguins for an entire afternoon. His family drama is like ours: they are full of spoiled teenagers, thieves of stones to the nest, hungry babies and couples jealous.

addition, sea ice are melting. This means they are increasingly harder to find the krill which they feed. This krill (tiny shrimp-like) lays its eggs beneath the sea ice that forms in winter. Also located beneath the icebergs. Not having much ice, Adelie must swim farther and farther to get it. This colony had Torgersen Island, A decade ago, at least 10,000 pairs of penguins, are now 3.000.

is to explore whether the Adelie adapt somehow, or simply disappear ...

Today Saturday December 12., At 4 hours of Chile and Palmer, will try to do a live broadcast over the Internet from this island ... is unprecedented. Has not been done before in the history of polar communications: 3 countries linked by videoconference to the Antarctic simultaneously. And with the option for viewing on the Internet worldwide, at: www.maloka.org .

How To Get Phlegm Out Of A Infants Throut

arrived at Palmer Station on a cold November night, when the blue icebergs, brought by strong winds, began to invade the bay. just dawned there on the stairs of the house of the zodiac, her brown hair was wet almost the same shade of wood, round big eyes and long eyebrows plucked by vividly looking around.

Her mother had been weaned at three weeks old, and now, four weeks , the adorable elephant seal female Antarctic was discovering the world. Something Palmer seemed irresistible. Perhaps the blue color of the buildings. Perhaps the shape of the zodiacs on the surface. Perhaps the lullaby songs of excited people in the station, trying to stay away a few yards of it to not predispose to human contact.
Someone named Cecilia.

And Cecilia Palmer spent several days in , there in his wooden stairs, leaving distance consent, and even showing offended when the noise disrupted their sleep zodiacs baby. Someone else asked what he was eating. "Nothing," he responded. "The elephant seals received from his mother that amount of milk so full of nutrients and fats, which seems curd. Can survive several weeks of their fat reserves while learning to eat, and no, they are in no danger of extinction, to the contrary. "

One day, Cecilia disappeared. We all searched and searched, without success, had left a great void, but everyone knew would happen sooner or later. Cecilia had moved on by the Palmer Archipelago, learning to catch squid and fish, learning to dive slowly. eventually may reach -1.500 meters, can remain submerged 2 hours and heart (to save oxygen) will beat only once per minute.

And one day, be part of the harem of a male of 4.000 kilos and 6 feet long, along with 50 other females like her but never equal to it, because everyone in Palmer we think is unique Cecilia. After all, the elephant seals that dare to make contact with humans.

The question is ice

is little that I could write this blog since I came to Antarctica because everything is appearing in a detailed interactive newspaper web sites VERY INTERESTING, with videos and photos and some audio of Antarctic environmental sounds. I invite you to follow him!

The journey through the Drake Passage, known for his temper, was rather very soft (about 3 on a scale of 1 to 10, as the captain of the research vessel Laurence Gould) . The waters of all oceans of the world meet at Drake, mixing the warm waters of the icy north of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, and this amazing shock generates winds that can form waves up 12 meters high.

The 5-day trip with a group of 30 scientists from various disciplines (biologists, geologists and paleontologists) ended with the arrival Palmer Station, on a cloudy day and cold. But that cold contracted with the beautiful warmth of the people who work here. Palmer is a unique place in the world. With no more than 40 people, is the only U.S. research station in the Antarctic Peninsula.

The reasons are as follows: The Peninsula is a biologically rich environment, there is an abundance of fresh water from glaciers around, the easy access by boat to the dock (boat is the only way to get to Palmer for now, although in future it provides potential access to cargo planes.) Finally, next to the glaciers there is a rocky area free of ice, which is where the station building.

All that is key to the studies carried out here: Antarctic bird studies (including penguins, petrels and others), phytoplankton (plant plankton) and bacteria, to name a few. These studies have taken place for several years, it is the way to compare, measure, prove.

The issue is the loss of ice. That is the central point of all this, and learn later. When the ice increases or decreases, when melted or compact, the changes in the local ecosystem, and global levels are important. They are the basis of many things in a long chain that begins at sea and in the atmosphere and ends up in our homes, in our wallets, in our pantries and our future quality of life.
