∙ 14y agoThere are just 17 species of penguin worldwide, they all live in the Southern Hemisphere apart from the Galapagos penguin which just about qualifies as living in the Northern Hemisphere as it spans a narrow band at the equator.
Of this 17, there are 4 that live and nest on and around the Antarctic continent and a further 3 that live and nest on Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands, giving us 7 species that can be considered 'Antarctic Penguins'.

The Gentoo Penguin.
The King Penguin,
