A huge iceberg broke off from an Antarctic ice shelf, drifted, and came to a stop - right in front of penguins.

It seemed to spell the end for hundreds of newly-hatched chicks whose mothers may no longer have been able to reach them.

Miraculously, scientists have now discovered that the tenacious penguins found a way to beat the colossal iceberg.

Satellite pictures seen exclusively by BBC News show life in the colony.
