There s a rare yellow penguin on South Georgia island, and biologists can t quite explain it Yasemin Saplakoglu © Provided by Live Science A wildlife photographer captured images of a rare yellow penguin. Black-and-white tuxedos may be the conventional dress code in the penguin world, but one dashing individual is breaking the status quo with an à la mode yellow coat. A wildlife photographer captured images of the rare penguin on a remote island in South Georgia in December 2019 and only recently released the photos. A king penguin walked up straight to our direction in the middle of a chaos full of sea elephants and Antarctic fur seals, and thousands of other king penguins, the photographer from Belgium, Yves Adams wrote on an Instagram post.

White continent, white blokes: why Antarctic research needs to shed its exclusionary past

The icy continent has historically been a place for men. First “discovered” in 1820, Antarctica would not be visited by a woman for well over a century. In 1935, Norwegian Caroline Mikkelsen, a whaler’s wife, became the first woman to do so, some 24 years after her compatriot Roald Amundsen had trekked all the way to the South Pole. It wasn’t until the 1950s that women were finally allowed to participate in Antarctic science. How had Antarctica come to be so dominated by men? Where were all the women? Among the group were 77 women working in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine (STEMM), who took part in a three-week leadership program. As part of our study of this program, Meredith travelled with the group to Antarctica to gather women’s first-hand accounts of their experiences.
