Penguin poop can give us a new CONTINENT.

Danco island in the antarctica was bulldozed by the several tons glaciers during the last Ice age. When the glaciers finally melted 7,000 to 10,000 year ago, it striped the island and exposed the rocky surface. Now its the homeland to huge population of penguins for the last 5,000 years. Every summer and winters for the many centuries penguins are feeding on the krillplankton and fishes and pooping the nutrient rich poop on the rocky surface of the island. Over thousand of years they have delivered approximately 16 millions of pound of poop onto the island. In doing so, they depositing tons of rich nutrient, which is actually is fertiliser, containing nitrogen, phosphorus and organic carbon. This could be stage for variety of plants and animals. As the temperature are already rising due to global warming, its providing perfect enviroment for plants and animals which survive and flourish in high temperatures. Migrating birds like Albatross come cover thousand of miles away from the other continents, are the source of bringing plants seeds and new animals species with them. Hence, converting deserted continent into new suitable land in few hundred years or maybe less because of current rapid increase temperature. Earth has always healed itself from the natural disasters and catastrophe like Ice age, mass volcanic eruptions and meteoroids. Maybe this time its healing itself from the rising temperature and forming new land suitable for life. Eventually these lands will turn into lush green rainforest in few hundred years and will provide oxygen for planet. Hence, healing itself back and become stable again.
