NASA | OIB Flights South 2014: Birds and Planes

The video explores the relationship between NASA's Operation Icebridge and penguins in Antarctica. It highlights how NASA conducts research on changing ice conditions while ensuring minimal disruption to penguin habitats. The video emphasizes the shared environment between humans and penguins and concludes with a lighthearted note.

What is the primary reason NASA considers penguin habitats during Operation Icebridge?

• To ensure penguins are not harmed by aircraft

• To avoid disturbing their natural environment

• To study penguin behavior

• To collect data on penguin populations

What is the main goal of NASA's Operation Icebridge?

• To test new aircraft technology

• To explore new regions of Antarctica

• To gather data on changing ice conditions

• To monitor penguin migration patterns

How does NASA ensure that their flights do not disturb penguin habitats?

• By conducting research only in winter

• By planning routes that avoid or fly high over habitats

• By using quieter aircraft

• By flying at night

What do NASA and penguins share according to the video?

• The same food sources

• The same atmosphere and solar system

• The same research goals

• The same migration patterns

Why is it important for NASA to tread lightly when visiting penguin habitats?

• To avoid legal issues

• To maintain the natural balance

• To ensure accurate data collection

• To prevent ice melting
