Last year, unprecedented snowstorms in Antarctica led to catastrophic breeding failures among several bird species. The extreme weather conditions buried nesting sites under thick layers of snow and ice, making it impossible for birds to lay eggs or raise chicks. Entire populations, including those of penguins and seabirds, were affected, highlighting the severe impact of climate change on fragile ecosystems. These breeding failures not only threaten the immediate survival of the birds but also pose long-term risks to their populations, disrupting the delicate balance of the Antarctic environment.
