Research into penguins has plunged to new depths with the release of images which provide a glimpse of life beneath the Antarctic ice.
Miniature cameras were attached to the backs of Adelie penguins by scientists from the French and Japanese national Antarctic programmes before they went out to sea in search of food.
The cameras weighed between 15 and 22 grams (0.5 and 0.8oz) and were recovered when the birds returned to their nests.
