British scientists who have set up a network of penguin-monitoring cameras throughout Antarctica are asking the public to help them carry out their research.

The Oxford team is launching a new version of their ambitious citizen science project, PenguinWatch, on Thursday 7 April - enabling people to explore Antarctica's penguin colonies online via images captured by the remote cameras.

The new site will allow young enthusiasts, like these children at a primary school in Cheshire, to monitor the results of their own research, and even to adopt and monitor their own penguin colony.
