In Antarctica, a week has passed and the chicks are finally preparing to leave.
Chickcam is there to watch them as they go. It was with them when they were born five months ago and has shared their challenges as they grew. But today is what the chicks have been preparing for. They will finally leave their ice world behind, to spend the coming years at sea. Gripped by a collective urge, they start to move as one. They seem to have a place in mind. They travel along the ice edge with a sense of purpose. And stop at the very highest point. They have made their choice.
