Dr E F Wilson at the Royal Institution reviews the emperor penguin life cycle with skins eggs and lantern images. The species larger than the king penguin was found during Cook's voyage and life history remains largely unknown until the Antarctic expedition return.

One chick survived aboard the Discovery for five months.
