User-contributed code: Mapping Penguin Population Study Sites

[tacookson]

Alison asked if I'd submit some code from a Tweet as a contribution:.

• Title: Mapping Penguin Population Study Sites
• Author: Alex Cookson
• Description: This code shows how to create a map of Antarctica with a "polar orthographic" projection (looking at Antarctica from the bottom of the Earth). Shown on the map are over 600 sites from the MAPPPD (Mapping Application for Penguin Populations and Projected Dynamics) project, as well as an annotation showing the Palmer Peninsula -- birthplace of the Palmer Penguins in the dataset!

The code is here. This is just a simple example, so it's a short RMarkdown file with comments in the code. If you prefer something different, I'm more than happy to change it to suit what you'd like!
