Emperor penguins live up to 373 miles further north than previously believed, claim researchers

Tracking of young emperor penguins in Antarctica has shown that they live about 373 miles further north than previously believed and stay far outside of their protected areas.

The Alfred Wegener Institute stated on Wednesday, August 31, that emperor penguins from the Atka Bay iceport near Germany's Neumayer Station III operated by the Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research in Antarctica swim beyond the 50th parallel south in their first year of life.
