Penguin colony was hidden in Antarctica, satellite image suddenly revealed, see picture

It is the tallest and heaviest species of penguins on Earth, also known as Aptenodites Fortieri.

Scientists have made an important discovery. In the satellite image of the most remote and inaccessible areas of Antarctica, he suddenly saw what was surprising. Have you heard the name emperor penguin? It is the tallest and heaviest species of penguins on Earth, called The Aptenodites Forsteri. Scientists have discovered their new colony. This colony had never been seen before.

Images from Europe's Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite helped find a new colony of the Emperor penguin. These penguins were discovered at Werleiger Point in West Antarctica. Satellite images of the colony have also surfaced.

A total of 66 colonies of amperer penguins around the coastline of Antarctica are now known, live science reported. An estimated penguins live in the newly discovered colony. The colony was reportedly discovered by Peter Fretwell, a geographic information officer at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), in December.

According to him, this discovery is exciting. The report quoted Peter Fretwell as saying that it is also a small colony and is in an area that has been badly affected by the loss of sea ice. Significantly, the increasing impact of heat on the environment has affected penguins. The melting of ice in Antarctica has also significantly affected their migration. Research also says that if Antarctica's ice continues to melt and the heat continues to increase, then in the coming time more than 90 percent of penguin colonies will be eliminated from this world.

Amperer penguins are different from the rest of the penguins. These breed on sea ice. They migrate to areas where it is very cold and the temperature goes down to minus 60 degrees Celsius. For this reason, not much research has been done on these penguins so far. These penguins also need a lot of ice for the development of their children.

The special thing is that the discovery of this colony of penguins happened suddenly. According to the information, Peter Fretwell was looking at the loss of sea ice in satellite images, when he saw evidence of an Amperer Penguin Colony.
