The loss of ice in one region of Antarctica last year likely resulted in none of the emperor penguin chicks surviving in four colonies, researchers reported Thursday.<\/p>\n

Emperor penguins<\/a> hatch their eggs and raise their chicks on the ice that forms around the continent each Antarctic winter and melts in the summer months.<\/p>\n

Researchers used satellite imagery to look at breeding colonies in a region near Antarctica\u2019s Bellingshausen Sea. The images showed no ice was left there in December during the Southern Hemisphere’s summer, as had occurred in 2021.<\/p>\n

Researchers said it is likely that no chicks survived in four of the five breeding colonies they examined. Penguin chicks don’t develop their adult waterproof feathers until close to the time they usually fledge, in late December or January, scientists say.<\/p>\n

“If the sea ice breaks up under them, the young chicks will drown or freeze to death,” said Peter Fretwell, a researcher at the British Antarctic Survey<\/a> and co-author of the study published Thursday in Nature Communications Earth & Environment.<\/p>\n

Overall, the ice around Antarctica reached near record low levels last year. The researchers say that climate change will make such losses more frequent in the future.<\/p>\n

Fretwell\u2019s team has also completed a preliminary analysis of known nesting sites \u2014 visible in satellite photos because of colored guano, or poop stains, left on white ice \u2014 across Antarctica, the only continent where the emperor penguin lives. There are about 300,000 breeding pairs left of the world’s largest penguins.<\/p>\n

Of 62 known penguin colonies, around 30% were harmed by low sea-ice levels last year \u2014 and 13 likely failed entirely, Fretwell said.<\/p>\n

“That this could happen doesn\u2019t shock me, but I’m shocked that it has happened already. I thought it would be further down the line,” said Daniel Zitterbart, a researcher who studies Antarctica for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution<\/a>, but was not involved in the new paper.<\/p>\n

If penguins aren\u2019t successful breeding in one location, they may look for another site the next year, he said. While it\u2019s possible for the population to recover from one or two bad breeding years, he\u2019s worried about the future.<\/p>\n

“If you look further out down the line, how many suitable places will be left?” he asked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
