When environmental protestors boarded a Japanese whaling ship in the Southern Ocean, images of the action quickly flashed on the world&#39;s TV sets, followed by photos from the Japanese ship after the protestors were taken into custody. Getting these images out is crucial if either side is to win the global PR battle, but doing so can be problematic when you&#39;re at sea, thousands of kilometers from the nearest cell phone network or broadband connection.

Krill, the heart of the rich Antarctic food chain that nourishes whales, seals and penguins, have declined by more than 80 percent in the past 25 years in key ocean regions, according to a new study that links the loss to warming temperatures.
