Chilean authorities are investigating what caused the deaths of nearly 1500 penguins found in a southern bay.
They say the dead birds were found yesterday at Caleta Queule, more than 2000km north of Antarctica.
Navy Lieutenant Rodrigo Zambrano said experts from the nearby University of Valdivia were working to determine what killed the penguins. He said the experts did not immediately know where the penguins were from.
