global warming one of those laboratories is the normal your station which is operated by a german research institute our correspondent money is a bird has been there to study how scientists study climate change and to witness its effects firsthand. antarctica a continent almost completely covered in ice yet extremely sensitive to even the slightest changes in climate it's edge the frozen ocean front is home to the emperor penguin here on the ice shelf it's freezing cold perfect conditions for emperor penguin breeding researchers say if the climate changes it would most likely affect them right now they're trying to count the penguins in the colony. deep in colony it's i think a huge danger for this penguin colony here is that the structure of the sea ice on which they green it is changing. if there's an increase in temperature and the sea ice shrinks breaks up earlier in the year they're breeding season will be shortened or they may not have any pleading grants or tall anymore under certain circumstances they wouldn't be able to build their colony a tall will be able to reproduce. so the research is
