So what happened next?

"We---er b--ke. Ple--- h--p."
Amelia frowned. Something seemed to be jamming the signal. But the last word probably meant "help." Something must have happened on the Penguin Islands. There was only one thing to do - go there and sort it out on the spot!

Amelia landed the helicopter, pulled her hood down further, climbed out of the cockpit and looked around.

All around was a continuous snow-white expanse. It stretched so far that it merged with the sky on the horizon. The sunlight, reflecting off the crystal snowflakes, cut the eyes to tears. Each exhalation instantly froze in the air, and Amelia could swear that she saw it in front of her in the form of a cloud.

Dio mio, so much snow… And so cold! No wonder the islands are called Penguin. People definitely won’t survive here. Although… someone sent a signal. We need to find this poor guy quickly and go home straight away.

According to the maps of the area, there should be a research station nearby. Perhaps the people are there.

— Hey, is anyone here?
— Finally! Help has arrived!

The Professor was hurrying down the corridor towards Amelia, wearing a long duck-down jacket, a thick scarf and a fur hat with earflaps. A huge blanket was tied to his neck like a cloak, belted with another scarf.

— Professore, what happened? Was this you who sent the signal?
— Yes, yes! Trouble! Catastrophe! My last experiment failed. I wanted to adjust the weather here, but as a result I caused a snowstorm and abnormal cold!
— Mamma mia... It's okay, we'll fix everything. Tell me what to do!

There was a lot to do. The research station needed to be cleared of snow so that it could send a more stable signal to the weather installations located in different parts of the islands. Then the installations themselves, which had probably been damaged by the snowstorm, needed to be found and repaired.

And the most important thing is to do all this very quickly, otherwise the inhabitants of the islands, penguins and seals, will not survive.

Amelia and the Professor dug the research station out of the snow and restored the weather installations one by one.

— Che gioia! The climate of the Penguin Islands has returned to normal. It has become much warmer, although, of course, winter is winter.
— Yes, the equipment is OK! We can continue the experiment!
— Wait, Professore! What about the penguins and seals? They're probably very cold and out of food!
— You are right. Before starting a new experiment, you should always make sure that the consequences of the previous one are completely eliminated. Otherwise, it may affect the results of the study.
— I'm talking about lives that need to be saved, and you're all talking about that science again!

Amelia and the Professor stocked up on blankets and warming drinks and went in search of the suffering animals.

— Amelia, my dear, are you sure that penguins and seals need our help so much? They were born for the cold, unlike people. Now the air will get normal, and they will be quite comfortable, as it seems to me.

Before Amelia could take a deep breath to properly scold the callous Professor, a plaintive squeak was suddenly heard from a nearby snowdrift. Coming closer and digging up the snowdrift, Amelia discovered two half-frozen penguins trying to warm an egg.

— Here is the answer to your question, Professore. Just look, the parents are trying their best to warm their future chick.

The Professor gasped, grabbed the blanket and covered the penguins. Amelia poured them a hot drink and carefully placed the cup under the blanket. The drink and the hot steam from it should help the poor things warm up faster. After a while, a crunch and a thin, demanding squeak came from under the blanket.

— Professore, this couple has hatched a chick! How funny and fluffy it is! But time does not wait, we must hurry to help others.

Amelia and the Professor continued their journey. They met penguins who were so weak from hunger that they did not have the strength to dive for fish. The friends managed to catch fish and feed all the inhabitants of the islands.

— Dio mio, we have to tell people about the penguins and seals here! They are so cute! Let everyone know that the Penguin Islands are not an icy hell, but their home, which must be protected.

— You're right, dear. If we build eco-friendly infrastructure, we can attract people here without harming the environment.

Amelia and the Professor built a water park for the penguins, as well as a hotel, cabins and kiosks with warm drinks for tourists.

— Well, everything is ready, Professore. Tourists will soon be in plenty at this location!
— Yes, that's much better. This place will be full of life. That's how it should be. Let everything go on as before here on the islands. Nature is the best creator, and we can't compete with it. We will simply observe and admire its boundless wisdom.
— Absolutely right, my friend!
