Thousands of penguins could be wiped out across Antarctica as the continent braces for the arrival of bird flu, experts fear.

โIt could be absolutely devastating,โ said Dr Jane Rumble, OBE. โWeโre saying when, not if.โ
Geeze. Why can't the handful of countries that share governance of the cruise lines and Antarctica just tell them no tourist?
Absolute failure at every level.
