discovered one and a half million of them crammed on a rock at the northernmost point of the antarctic peninsulatches of their poo showed up in satellite images. the animals are crammed onto a rocky archipelago called the danger islands. as the name implies, the islands are notoriously difficult to reach. even in antarctica's summer, the ocean surrounding the archipelago is filled with a kind of thick sea ice that ships try to avoid. and another animal took my colleague victoria gill by surprise when she was on the isle of mull. this is a special protected site for golden eagles, and there are four nesting pairs, which is why david's brought us here. we have the scope, the binoculars. we have the long lens. so, we'll just keep our fingers crossed, because it is a big country. there's a golden eagle up here now! oh, my word! going along the ridge. oh, wow! the majestic king of birds is under threat in some areas, but there's hope that this species can be protected now that their genetic code has been unlocked. by knowing their dna, conservationists can learn more about their health, ecology and h
