Penguin Science is a website and free DVD (except for shipping) that contains some tremendous HD footage of scientists led by Dr. David Ainley studying Adelie Penguins in the Ross Sea region of Antarctica. Sponsored by the US National Science Foundation this work was also featured on Wild Kingdom as "Return to Penguin City" in March 08. No doubt it will be back on the TV soon
"Like animals everywhere, Antarctic penguins are adjusting, or not, to changes in their habitat brought by warming temperatures. With extensive field research on their existing colonies, and a 30,000 year-old record contained in deposits of their bones, we know more about how Antarctic penguins will adjust to rapid climate change than almost any other creature on Earth."
