SANTIAGO, Chile — About 2,500 penguins en route to their Antarctic mating grounds could be sickened by a diesel fuel spill from a cruise boat that struck an iceberg and sank last week, Chilean scientists said Friday.

Areas surrounding the mile- long spill site include breeding grounds for Antarctic and Adelia penguins, and the largest mating colony for Papua penguins, said marine biologist Maria Jose Rosello.
