Antarctica
Vital research
Scientists from the Norwegian Antarctic Research Expedition (organised by the Norwegian Polar Institute) measure the intensity of light under the ice edge of Trolltunga, located off Queen Maud Land in Antarctica. The aim is to gain greater knowledge of both man-made and natural climate change. The penguins seem both curious and eager to contribute, as if they know that research is vital to combat the global warming that may threaten their existence. All countries must take determined steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions if the future of humans and animals is to be safeguarded. The UN Rio Conventions form the main basis for the international fight against climate change. |
