All penguins are sea birds that live at sea. Their vast roaming distances -- away from the land beaches where they breed -- are mostly undiscovered by scientists, even with the aid of satellite tracking devices that a few of the birds wear.

Four types of penguins breed on Antarctica's beaches, including the Emperor, Adelie, Chinstrap and Gentoo.The closest open water to the South Pole is about 750 miles, and the elevation of the South Pole is higher than 9,300 feet.Antarctica is too cold to support animal life of any kind, and there is no food chain there.OVER 9000WHAT 9000 that's impossible

Do all penguins live at the South Pole?
No penguins live at the South Pole. Penguins are found in the Antarctic, but not at the South Pole itself. This theoretical point lies too far inland for penguins, or any other animals to venture. Penguins are only found in the southern hemisphere, and are by no means restricted to the Antarctic. Whilst nothing can actually live at the "South Pole", because it is a point too far inland on the Antarctic continent to support life, penguins are one of the most abundant lifeforms found on the Antarctic peninsula and surrounding islands.
Why do the male emperor penguins carry the egg?
