What hasn’t changed is we still need comms techs and mechanics for the Australian Antarctic Program.

Meet the emperor penguin singles club. At this time of year in #Antarctica, male emperors incubate eggs while females leave the colony to collect food. But not every male is lucky to find a mate. Others can also lose their egg. This is a group of ‘unemployed’ males at Auster colony near Mawson research station. To stay warm they keep their head pulled in, flippers close to their body and feet covered with their belly flap. Images of male emperors taken by expeditioners help scientists conduct a colony census and estimate the size of a breeding population. 🔊 Sound on for penguin banter 🎥 Rebecca Jeffcoat #penguins #wildlife #penguinsofinsta #birdsofinstagram
