Abstract

This note reports observations of two moulting emperor penguins ( Aptenodytes forsteri) on Horseshoe Island, West Antarctica, during the Seventh Turkish Antarctic Expedition in February 2023. This is the first time this species has been documented on this island. Emperor penguins largely depend on fast-ice to breed and moult. The Antarctic Peninsula hosts few emperor penguin colonies. Horseshoe Island has become one of the northernmost points along the western Antarctic Peninsula where emperor penguins are documented to moult.

首次在南极洲马蹄岛观察到帝企鹅

本说明报告了2023年2月土耳其第七次南极考察期间，在南极洲西部马蹄岛上对两只蜕皮的帝企鹅的观察结果。这是第一次在这个岛上记录到这种物种。帝企鹅在很大程度上依靠快速结冰来繁殖和蜕皮。南极半岛几乎没有帝企鹅聚居地。马蹄岛已成为南极半岛西部最北端之一，据记载，帝企鹅在这里蜕皮。

期刊介绍： Since 1982, Polar Research has been the international, peer-reviewed journal of the Norwegian Polar Institute, Norway''s central institution for research, environmental monitoring and mapping of the polar regions. Aiming to promote the exchange of scientific knowledge about the Arctic and Antarctic across disciplinary boundaries, Polar Research serves an international community of researchers and managers. As an open-access journal, Polar Research makes its contents freely available to the general public. Original primary research papers comprise the mainstay of Polar Research. Review articles, brief research notes, letters to the editor and book reviews are also included. Special issues are published from time to time. The scope of Polar Research encompasses research in all scientific disciplines relevant to the polar regions. These include, but are not limited to, the subfields of biology, ecology, geology, oceanography, glaciology and atmospheric science. Submissions from the social sciences and those focusing on polar management and policy issues are welcome. Contributions about Antarctica are particularly encouraged.
