ANT ARC C INCUBATION.—-The International Geophysical Tear has facilitated the study of many aspects of wild life. This American scientist (left), a biologist of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is shown planting a “doctored” egg under an Antarctic penguin. The egg (right) contains a tiny battery-powered radio transmitter, which signals temperatures within the nest in the hatching period. American scientists, with the help of equipment like this, hope to determine how penguins hatch their eggs in freezing temperatures.
