Emperor penguin colonies experienced unprecedented breeding failure in a region of Antarctica where there was total sea ice loss in 2022. The discovery supports predictions that over 90% of emperor penguin colonies will be quasi-extinct by the end of the century, based on current global warming trends.

PARIS (AFP) – Helpless emperor penguin chicks perished at multiple breeding grounds in West Antarctica late last year, drowning or freezing to death when sea ice eroded by global warming gave way under their tiny feet, scientists said last Thursday. Of five sites monitored in the Bellingshausen Sea region, all but one experienced a 100 […]

According to a peer-reviewed British Antarctic Survey report released late last week, the melting of sea ice might have caused the death of some 10,000 Emperor penguin chicks by the end of 2022.

Scientists in Antarctica reported an "unprecedented breeding failure" among emperor penguins on a portion of the continent that has experienced significant sea ice loss.

Vast numbers of emperor penguin chicks drown as sea-ice melts and collapses underneath them.

Helpless emperor penguin chicks perished at multiple breeding grounds in West Antarctica late last year, drowning or freezing to death when sea ice eroded by global warming gave way under their tiny feet, scientists said Thursday.  "Chicks that go into the water will likely drown, but even if they manage to get back out they will probably freeze to death," he added.
