Best Answer

No.

Penguins are found in the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica -- they are sea birds. They do not live at the South Pole itself, which is 750 miles from open water with an elevation in excess of 10,000 feet above sea level. This means that the South Pole lies too far inland for penguins. In fact, no animals live on Antarctica: it's too cold and there is no food chain.

Penguins are only found in the Southern Hemisphere, and are by no means restricted to the beaches of Antarctica for breeding purposes. Penguins are one of the most abundant lifeforms found breeding on the Antarctic peninsula and surrounding islands.
no

Another Answer:

They live along the coast of Antarctica but not at the geographic south pole.
