Journeys with Emperors 2023
Journeys with Emperors: Tracking the World's Most Extreme Penguin is a 2023 book written by American marine physiologist Gerald Kooyman together with co-author Jim Mastro. The book follows Kooyman’s long-term research efforts focused on emperor penguins at Cape Washington and other colonies located in Antarctica’s Ross Sea. Describing his experiences over many years in the field, it blends personal reflection with scientific documentation of the severe conditions faced by researchers in Antarctica. It also explores how emperor penguins adapt to survive in one of Earth’s most extreme climates. Kooyman, recognized for employing animal-tracking tools and underwater monitoring methods, shares detailed insights into the penguins’ diving capabilities—reaching depths surpassing 500 meters—and their dangerous yearly journeys. The volume contains images, illustrations, and references to video recordings.
