Antarctic Penguins

In a first sighting so far north, an emperor penguin appeared on a beach in Australia, thousands of kilometres from its Antarctic home. The malnourished penguin, "way bigger than a seabird," was spotted on Friday on Ocean Beach, Australia.

The five recruits will be working at the world's southernmost post office in Port Lockroy.

Other wildlife affected by bird flu in the Antarctic include elephant seals, fur seals, kelp gulls, and brown skuas.

Deception Island, located off the Antarctic Peninsula, is one of the only places in the world where ships can sail directly into the center of an active volcano.

The melting of sea ice around Antarctica is leading to the loss of habitat for baby emperor penguins.

Satellite photographs of one of the most remote and inaccessible parts of Antarctica have revealed a recently discovered emperor penguin colony.

Four women have been selected in order to run the most distant office in the world and count penguins in Antarctica.

There are more than 18 species of penguins that live only in the southern hemisphere, according to Encyclopaedia Britannica.

The successful candidates will have to be at the base from November 2022 to March 2023. They will also have to count penguins and other wildlife.

"It's like getting stabbed," a tourist exclaims, as he plunges into the three-degree Celsius (37-Fahrenheit) water, all under the intrigued gaze of a group of penguins. All around Half Moon Island, off the Antarctic Peninsula, blocks of ice of all sizes float by on a calm sea, their varying forms resembling weightless origami shapes.

Two emperor penguins in Antarctica captured a short video of themselves after coming across a camera left on the ice by a human. The Australian Antarctic Division posted the comical, 38-second clip to its social media channels Thursday. " . . . It didn't take long for the naturally curious birds to seize the opportunity for a selfie," the group sai...

Most people don't usually like unexpected visitors. However, when the guest is as cute as this penguin, who can have any issues! A video shared by Antarctic Division on Twitter shows the most adorable moment a friendly penguin hopped onto a boat, as if to say a quick 'hello' to the researcher onboard.

Analysis of ancient penguin guano has revealed that volcanic eruptions, not climate change, almost wiped out an Antarctic sea bird colony three times, researchers have found.

Waddling over the rocks, legions of penguins hurl themselves into the icy waters of Antarctica, foraging to feed their young.

Imagine a life in extreme cold, with no modern comforts at your disposal, cut off from the outside world, with only acres of snow and colonies of smelly penguins for company.
