In 2004 one called A38 grounded on its continental shelf, leaving dead penguin chicks and seal pups on beaches as massive ice chunks blocked their access to feeding grounds.

And despite previous failures, the lovebirds continue to renew their bonds and efforts to produce chicks this year.

The island is home to about 3 million seabirds, who return there every year to mate, lay their eggs, and raise their chicks.

She is thought to have had more than 30 chicks in her lifetime.

They also vocalize to tell their chicks they are back at the nest with food and, seemingly, to cheer on their babies when they’re learning to fly.
