YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Scientists have had a rare glimpse into the lives of penguins after attaching tiny cameras to the birds in Antarctica.

The devices were set to start recording as soon as the Adelie penguins dived into water.

Researchers from Japan's National Institute of Polar Research retrieved 90 minutes of footage from 10 of the cameras, which were stuck on their backs with sticky tape.

It shows them swimming around in search of food, diving off ice floes and other scenes of life beneath the ice.

Hiroyasu Kumagae, from the institute, said the penguins were unharmed by the experiment.
