Antarctica’s Not-So-Silent Problem

Turns out, even in Antarctica, wildlife can’t escape our noise! Scientists found that a power generator’s hum can be heard 2km away in a supposedly protected area, stressing out seabirds and marine mammals. The noise is messing with their communication, foraging, and even causing higher stress hormone levels. It’s wild (and kinda sad) that our tech is stressing out penguins at the literal edge of the world. Should we be worried about how far our noise travels? #Antarctica #NoisePollution #Wildlife #Science
