We present a deep, high spatial resolution (0.35 arcsec FWHM), near-infrared(1-2.5 micron) imaging survey of the Eagle Nebula, M16, made with the VLT,centred on the famous elephant trunks. We compare these data with the existingHST optical images to search for evidence of ongoing or recent star formationin the trunks, and in particular in the 73 small evaporating gaseous globules(EGGs) on their surface. We find that two of the three HST trunks haverelatively massive YSOs in their tips. Most of the EGGs appear to be empty, butsome 15% of them do show evidence for associated young low-mass stars or browndwarfs: in particular, there is a small cluster of such sources seen at thehead of the largest trunk.

The Eagle's EGGs: Fertile or sterile?
