The authors called the video “the first underwater blog from a little penguin.”
The polar explorers explained that a GPS tracker and camera were attached to the bird’s back.
“Scientists remove the camera within a day, the tracker – after about three weeks. For this, there is a separate procedure that does not harm the feathers and is completely safe for animals,” the message emphasizes.
The video lasts three minutes and, as the NASC warns, is “very dynamic” and can make you “sick,” so for those with a very sensitive vestibular system, “it’s better to sit down.”
“In the video you can see the real speed of the penguins underwater. We remind you that these are subantarctic penguins, which are the fastest of all and can accelerate to 36 km/h,” the message says.
