In a sparse, windswept pasture at the frigid tip of South America lives a tiny bird whose quiet life is shedding light on the importance of studying the world's most remote places.
In the Diego Ramirez Islands, 100 kilometers from southern Chile's Cape Horn, scientists have identified the Subantarctic rayadito, a 0.035 pound brown bird with black and yellow bands, and a large beak that is confounding biologists.
The finding, reported on Friday in the science journal Nature, was made after a six-year investigation in which the tiny bird became an "obsession" to researchers, said Rozzi.
