Antarctic Scientists Race Bird Flu
Update: 2025-12-25
Description
Scientists in Australias Antarctic Territory are racing against time to collect baseline data on wildlife populations, particularly Adélie penguins and Weddell seals, before the H5N1 bird flu strain arrives. Theyre using drones, automated cameras, and trackers to monitor colonies near Casey, Davis, and Mawson Stations. This data will help detect any bird flu impact or other changes due to climate change and fishing pressures.
