The 'mysterious nest' of 1.5 million penguin humans has never known

During the past 3,000 years, an area in Antarctica is home to 1.5 million Adélie penguins that humans do not know.

The mysterious area of the Adélie penguin was only discovered recently by the American Geological and Geological Society.

According to the researchers, the area called "supercontinent" of this penguin is an Antarctic plate, surrounded by many layers of ice. It is also named: Dangerous Islands.

The area is said to be "holy" for thousands of years by the Adélie penguin in Antarctica.

The area was discovered when a group of researchers spent 10 months conducting a survey in Antarctica, studying Adélie penguins by looking at the clean images.

Heather Lynch, an ecologist at Stony Brook University once said: "We thought we knew where all the penguin colonies were."

However, Lynch and other researchers in the process almost missed the "dangerous archipelago" area if not detected more closely by images showing that the area is not full of bird feces. Penguin.

"We think that previously missed it partly because we didn't expect to find them there , " Lynch said.

Dangerous islands in Antarctica are not easily accessible, as they are always surrounded by a thick layer of sea ice.

"In this area it's so small that it doesn't even appear on most Antarctic maps, but Adélie penguins live more than the rest of Antarctica combined , " Lynch said.

Currently, the team is taking the time to find out what penguins are eating based on their pink color in satellite images. Pink may be due to differences in food. They eat mollusks differently than eat fish.

In addition, researchers have identified the age of penguins found in the newly discovered area and the eggshell found to show that penguins have been hiding on the island for a long time.
