Keeping a close eye on Antarctic species

Scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries and several other nations have developed a system using a network of autonomous time-lapse cameras which can turn static images into useful data on the timing and success of penguin reproduction. 

They say that the system monitors penguins as effectively as scientists could in person, for a fraction of the cost.
