When the wind blew from the direction of the colony, ammonia levels spiked, sometimes reaching 1,000 times above normal ...

Penguin droppings release ammonia that forms clouds, affecting Antarctica's climate and potentially slowing warming.

Newly published research shows that clouds fueled by penguin poop could help fight climate change in the Antarctic.
