1958 Press Photo Carl Eklund biologist works with Penguins - mjx02818

It's all in the interest of science as Carl Eklund, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, throttles an Antarctic penguin to plant a "doctored" egg in its nest. The egg contains a telemeter - a tiny battery - powered radio transmitter, right -- which signals temperatures within the nest during hatching periods. In his study of Antarctic bird life Eklund seeks to determine how penguins hatch their eggs in the frigid temperatures. The Atlanta, Ga., biologist is leader of the Wilkes IGY station
