Members of the First German South Polar Expedition (1901–1903) encountered emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri) near their wintering station in the sea ice of Posadowsky Bay, East Antarctica. The penguins appeared to be generally less of scientific interest, but more of a useful resource. Despite the presence of chicks, the men were uncertain about the existence of a breeding colony, and did not record the position of the penguin aggregation they encountered. In later years, only a few sightings confirmed the existence of a colony, and the last ground visit took place in 1960. Based on satellite imagery, a colony appears to exist even now. This paper examines what impact the expedition may have had on this colony, and whether it still exists.

帝企鹅和第一次德国南极探险，1901-1903：波萨多夫斯基湾难以捉摸的殖民地

第一次德国南极探险队的成员（1901 年）–1903）遇到帝企鹅（羊肚菌) 在南极洲东部波萨多夫斯基湾海冰的越冬站附近。企鹅似乎通常不那么具有科学兴趣，但更多的是一种有用的资源。尽管有小鸡存在，但这些人不确定是否存在繁殖群，也没有记录他们遇到的企鹅聚集地的位置。在后来的几年里，只有少数目击证实了一个殖民地的存在，最后一次地面访问发生在 1960 年。根据卫星图像，即使是现在也似乎存在一个殖民地。本文研究了探险队可能对这个殖民地产生了什么影响，以及它是否仍然存在。
