March of the Penguins (French La Marche de l'empereur ; French pronunciation: is a 2005 French feature length nature documentary directed and co-written by Luc Jacquet, and co-produced by Bonne Pioche and the National Geographic Society. The documentary depicts the yearly journey of the emperor penguins of Antarctica. In autumn, all the penguins of breeding age (five years old and over) leave the ocean, their normal habitat, to walk inland to their ancestral breeding grounds. There, the penguins participate in a courtship that, if successful, results in the hatching of a chick. For the chick to survive, both parents must make multiple arduous journeys between the ocean and the breeding grounds over the ensuing months.
It took one year for the two isolated cinematographers Laurent Chalet and Jerome Maison to shoot the documentary, which was shot around the French scientific base of Dumont d'Urville in Adelie Land.
From the Ocean to the Mating Grounds
Each winter, thousands of Emperor Penguins leave the ocean and start marching to a remote place in Antarctica for their breeding season. Blinded by blizzards and strong winds, only guided by their instincts, they march to an isolated region, that does not support life for most of the year. We're not sure how they find their way. Perhaps they're aided by the sun. Or perhaps it's part their DNA since they've done this for thousands of years.
The Emperor Penguins of Antarctica are the tallest and largest breed of penguins. In fall, only those penguins that are of breeding age, i.e. 5 years and older, leave the ocean to walk to their breeding grounds. There, they start looking for a mate and hope to hatch a chick.
