The new glacial ice Wilkins Runway situated 65kms

A King penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) waddles over the ice at sunset to the Auster rookery near the Australian research station of Mawson in the Australian Antarctic Territory, 16 August 2006. The new glacial ice Wilkins Runway situated 65kms from Casey will allow Australian scientists to greatly expand their studies on the effects climate change is having on Antarctica's fragile environment by providing 20-30 flights from Hobart each summer
