The penguin in the right of the image has a tracking device - a small tracker with an antenna - on its back.

  10. The front of a glacier, where a large channel - which looks a bit like a cave or an arch - has eaten away at the ice. A river of meltwater now meanders out of the front of the glacier. There are also chunks of ice on the ground having broken off the glacier. A man, dressed in mountaineering clothing, stands in front of the glacier for scale, which shows how big the channel or cave is.
