Dr. Emslie joined an international team at a Spanish International Polar Year camp on Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island, Antarctic Peninsula. This research provided new information on the occupation history and diet of penguins that have occupied Byers Peninsula for over 1000 years.

Mike continued his work collecting penguin eggshells along the Antarctic Peninsula. Mike was working with a non-profit research group called Oceanites and visited over 20 different penguin colonies on board the tour ship National Geographic Endeavour. Mike and Dr. Emslie will analyses these eggshells to determine what types of food penguins eat prior to laying their eggs. Check out the video below to hear Mike talking about this research.
