of a mysterious spike in atmospheric acidity over an Antarctic site
made famous by the documentary March of the Penguins.
The culprit? Penguin poop. It turns out penguins who live in the area
could be responsible for acidity levels in December 2010 that were four
times higher than levels observed during Southern Hemisphere summers
back to 1997.
