Early season the Gentoo penguins arrive at their nesting sites and if their mate is alive they are reunited after the long southern winter. Spring snowfall that is increasing in some areas of the Peninsula means that the rocks and pebbles they need for nesting are not exposed until later in the season. This reduces the success rate of the fledglings as time for growth is shorter. Just one of the many effects of climate change affecting the entire planet.
