The Emperor's Domain: Adaptations & energetic requirements for life on the ice

The Antarctic environment is renowned for being among the most extreme on earth, presenting a range of challenges to any organism living there. One of the most successful species to do so is the Emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri). Emperor penguins owe this capability to the evolution of a variet...
