The Adelie penguin is one of the best-studied birds in the world and is the subject of research programs from a dozen nations interested in monitoring changes in the environment and the food webs of the Southern Ocean.

When the sea-ice is seen to decline so does the population of Adelie penguins. Further south, however, the population is increasing.
