Due to their lack of movement on land during the day the penguins are often mistakenly thought to be nocturnal. However they actually leave Granite Island before dawn to begin their days fishing, and return to the Island after dusk, to rest. Apart from during the breeding and moulting seasons and the occasional "rest day", this daily pattern continues year round.

South pole
Another Answer
Emperor Penguins live on the beach on the Antarctic continent, which at its closest is about 750 miles north of the South Pole. There is no life at the South Pole: it rises more than two miles high above sea level, and the temperatures are always in the sub- minus 50 degree F range or colder.
Why do penguins have wings if they spend most of their time in the ocean?
Some penguins stay in the water for as long as 5 months, swimming thousands of miles. They can even sleep in the water. They come ashore to breed, moult and grow new feathers.
Penguins at seaPenguins have many adaptations for a life at sea, including:
- Modified wings called flippers to 'fly' through the water
- A gland to spread an oil like sustance over their feathers when preening to help keep them waterproof
- A streamlined shape
- Waterproof feathers (outer layer)
- A layer of down next to their skin to trap air and keep them warm
- A salt gland above their eyes to filter salt from seawater, providing penguins with freshwater.
- REASON:-
- Penguins don't get bothered by the cold as we would think they do because of the layers of fat on their bodies. However, some penguin species that do not live in the colder regions, get too hot and that is a concern for them. Due to global warming it has become even more of a concern out there. They often extend their flippers to help stay cool. They also spend more time in the water when the heat is too hot for them on land.
