He is leading a team of scientists studying the impacts of climate change and fisheries in penguin populations in the Antarctic. Elephant Island is home to one of the world’s largest Chinstrap Penguin populations, yet it has only been ornithologically surveyed once in 1971, by a British Joint Services expedition.To understand how penguin populations are faring, a census has been organised by researchers from Stony Brook University, Northeastern University and Greenpeace to study the impact of climate change on fragile chinstrap penguin colonies on Elephant Island in Antarctica.(This picture was taken in 2020 during the Antarctic leg of the Pole to Pole expedition under the Dutch permit number RWS-2019/40813)Locations:Antarctica-Elephant Island-South Shetland IslandsDate:10 Jan, 2020Credit:© Christian Åslund / GreenpeaceMaximum size:4500px X 3000pxKeywords:Bird colonies-Chinstrap penguins-Cliffs-Climate (campaign title)-Coastal features-Day-High angle view-KWCI (GPI)-Leopard seals-Oceans (campaign title)-One person-Outdoors-Penguins-ScientistsShoot:Protect the Oceans Expedition: Antarctic MY Esperanza Tour - Leg 1 (Photos)Greenpeace is back in the Antarctic on the last stage of the Protect the Oceans Expedition, a year long pole to pole voyage.
