Now you might think I have gone completely mad. However, scientists HAVE found new penguin colonies in Antarctica - from space!
Now these little creatures are very small and are not visible from space. We are constantly being told to be careful about what we leave behind (rubbish etc) but alas these penguins have no option but to leave behind their guano - penguin poop to you and me. Space satellites have managed to pick up the large area of droppings that they've left behind and by mapping the little deposits they have found some new colonies of penguins that were previously unknown.
Some lucky school groups have travelled to Antarctica with us and have witnessed for themselves these amazing little creatures and the other incredible wildlife that is Antarctica. If you would like to find out more please contact us at study@discovertheworld.co.uk
