DESCRIPTION:Film: March of the Penguins: \nThis documentary follows the am
 azing journey Emperor Penguins take every year to reach their breeding gro
 und from the sea. Males and females trek for 20 days\, in single file\, gu
 ided only by their instincts\, until they reach a place so hostile no othe
 r animal can survive there at this time of year. Once they arrive\, a comp
 lex dance ensues\, until each male is paired off with a female. After mati
 ng\, the female leaves the male to guard her egg\, heading off on the long
  walk back to the sea to find food. Once the eggs have hatched\, the femal
 e must bring food back to feed her chick\, or it will starve. Once they ha
 ve returned\, the father's duty of care is over\, and he can take his turn
  to return to the sea to fish. Full of drama\, as the chicks struggle to s
 urvive lack of food\, freezing temperatures and attack by giant petrals\, 
 this documentary follows them until they take their first dive into the se
 a\, where they will stay for four years\, before following in their parent
 's footsteps and completing this epic journey for themselves in their firs
 t mating season.\n\nTalk: David Vaughan\, a Climate Scientist at the Briti
 sh Antarctic Survey will talk about Ice Sheet melting. David has worked at
  the Natural Environment Research Council's British Antarctic Survey  sinc
 e 1985\, and now leads their IceSheets programme. He is Coordinating Lead 
 Author for the 5th Assessment Review of the Intergovernmental Panel on Cli
 mate Change and has led 7 scientific campaigns in remote parts of Antarcti
 ca. His current research focuses on the contribution of ice sheets to sea-
 level rise.\n
