Warmer-water penguins such as the chinstrap are migrating down the antarctic peninsula, displacing adeles as far South as Palmer Station. There used to be a number of penguin colonies on the Larsen A and B ice shelves, now gone, and there is extensive colonization on the seabed that used to be under them.
With all of the scientific information coming out of Antarctica, it's a little hard to comprehend how thin the observers are on the ground for determining things like animal migration habits. Most Antarctic research is in the physical sciences, and there are less than 5000 people total on the whole continent, 1000 in the winter, tourists included. We'll know a lot more at the end of the International Polar Year, which I urge you to Google.

Well, I'm not sure specifically about Antarctica, but I do know the polar bears are beginning to resort to cannibalism due to lack of food and habitat. Whether that stretches all the way to Antartcica as yet, I'm not sure.
