Overall, this helps us to understand the timing of ice, climate change, and fisheries on penguin survival and reproduction.'

'Data from a whole load of cameras are put together to understand when penguins breed each year and how long it takes to raise chicks. 'We count penguins from the images, and observe when they arrive to breed,' Oxford University Penguinologist (yes, that's a real job) Tom Hart told Crave. The cameras were deployed in January 2014 and will spend about a year on our coldest continent, capturing pictures of Adelie penguins in an effort to find out how things like climate change, fisheries, disease, and pollution affect their numbers. 'Obviously this is vital for getting information back from remote areas around the globe.' 'Iridium were chosen because they have the only truly global satellite system covering every inch of the Earth's surface,' Jonathan Pallant, senior engineer at Cambridge Consultants, told Crave.

Now, technology firm Cambridge Consultants has developed a series of Raspberry-Pi-equipped cameras for the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) that are capable of beaming their images back to research labs using the Iridium satellite network. The most ambitious Raspberry Pi projects (pictures).Bird steals camera, shoots aerial footage of penguin colony.
