Jeopardy answer: what penguins get from sitting on the ice.
Using satellites in orbit, scientists are studying ice-locked oases called polynyas and their thriving populations of penguins.
The researchers used data from two satellites: NASA's Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. See images here.
It's enough to make a tree-hugger cry. Imagine using evil technology to non-invasively study some of God's happy creatures.
