What do penguins smell when they are on Antarctica?

There are no natural smells on Antarctica. However, breeding penguins on Antarctica's beaches exude guano and regurgitated food -- to feed their land-bound young -- as part of their normal bodily functions, and this guano mix can be an extremely unpleasant smell for humans. Penguins don't seem to mind. Most of what penguins actually smell remains a mystery. According to a 2013 study by the German Inter-Research Science Center: ". . . phytoplankton release dimethylsulphoniopropionate in the seawater, which is then catabolized to dimethyl sulphide (DMS) that is emitted to the air." (This leads krill-feeding animals to high-density food sources.) At sea, there's no evidence that penguins respond to DMS, however, they do respond to it on land.
