Join us live in Antarctica with Jean Pennycook and a few thousand adelie penguins who are in the process of incubating eggs and raising their new chicks! Since 2004, Jean has spent the Antarctic summers (Oct – Jan) living in a tent near the Adélie penguin breeding colony at Cape Royds on Ross Island. Her research team monitors the population of these iconic birds as they respond to changes in their environment.
Through an interpretive website, Jean connects her penguin research to classrooms and the public around the world, providing a virtual field trip to the breeding colony and live interactions with the penguins. She lives in California, USA, earning her B.Sc. in Wildlife Biology from the University of California, Davis, and her M.Sc. from California State University, Fresno.
