Turkish scientists observe an emperor penguin chick for the first time on Horseshoe Island in Antarctica where they have been carrying out scientific research for seven years
National Antarctic Science Expedition deputy head Atilla Yilmaz said they were working on lakes on Horseshoe Island and aimed to examine the levels and distribution of human-induced pollutants in the lakes.
"We will conduct various analyses in the laboratories in Türkiye on the samples collected. Two different zooplankton have been found in the studies carried out on the lakes. This is why the lake ecosystems in the southernmost latitudes where these zooplankton are seen are of great importance." "The United Kingdom, Belgium and Türkiye are making an effort to declare all the lakes in the vicinity as protected areas. Most likely, this place will be a protected area from 2024," he said, adding that continued scientific research would entail "certain rules."
