Penguins in Danger 2016

When I visited South Georgia in 2016, I saw wonderful colonies of Adélie penguins with their chicks. Global warming is driving big changes in Antarctica. Rising temperatures cause huge chunks of ice to break off into the sea. I was devastated to learn that some icebergs have nesting colonies on them when they break away. If a huge iceberg happens to break off when many penguin parents are away at sea fishing, they can't climb the massive icebergs as high as 75m to get back to their chicks! If their parents can't reach them, the chick die of starvation. Global warming is certainly true and this is just one consequence of what it is causing around the world.
