They only move around on the beaches, close to open water.
However, in winter, penguin colonies on land can exist a long way away from open water, because the sea ice freezes, essentially doubling the size of the Antarctic continent.
An emperor penguin, for example, may walk 150 Km to open water in the early spring.
The best description for the way penguins move on land is this: they waddle. Their legs are extremely short. During the longer journeys across the ice, emperor penguins have been known to slide on their bellies, pushing themselves ahead using the claws on the ends of their webbed toes.
