ANTARCTIC penguins have fascinated people since they were first discovered by Magellan's expedition in 1520; the expedition historian called them "strange geese," while the crew used the fearless birds as a source of food.
Today, thanks to a combination of man-made climate change and increased fishing for krill the bread and butter for many penguin species these flightless birds are up against threats far greater than that posed by Magellan's hungry sailors.
