Images from the European Commission’s Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite found out that there are nearly 20% more emperor penguin colonies in Antarctica. These birds need sea ice to breed and they found out several colonies located up to 180 km offshore. Their habitat would provide a great indication of studies relating to the climate change globally and for monitoring the emperor penguin’s population as well as protecting the habitats of the iconic birds.
