To study the protected Danger Islands and the large Adélie penguin colony there. Along the way, the expedition gathers data on currents, temperatures and possible pollutants. Despite storms, dense ice and seasickness, the team manages to land on one of the seven islands. The mission delivers crucial insights into climate, wildlife and rapid environmental change in Antarctica.
