Tens of thousands of Antarctic penguins are estimated to be unable to return to their colony after a massive iceberg grounded there, according to a newly published study.
Around 150,000 Adélie penguins are killed after a giant iceberg larger than a country grounded at Commonwealth Bay, blocking access to the sea and forcing the penguins to travel considerably longer distances to feed.
