Antarctica New Zealand Adélie Penguin Census

In collaboration with Manaaki Whenua, Antarctica New Zealand has been monitoring Adélie penguin populations in the Ross Sea region since the early 1980s. The Penguin Census involves aerial reconnaissance, capturing high-resolution photographs from a helicopter flying at altitudes ranging from 2000 to 2500 feet above 27 colonies across Ross Island and Northern Victoria Land. The colonies on Ross Island are surveyed annually, while those on Northern Victoria Land are surveyed every three to five years. Funding for the census is provided by the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE). Watch the video to learn more.
