Antarctica is surrounded by the Southern Ocean, which encircles the continent. To the north, it is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Indian ocean to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the northeast. The Southern Ocean is often considered the key ocean surrounding Antarctica, playing a crucial role in global climate and ocean currents.

What penguins are in Antarctica?

From Antarctic Connection: "Of the 17 species of penguins, only four breed on the Antarctic continent itself: the Adelie, the Emperor, the Chinstrap and the Gentoo penguins." All penguins come to the continent to breed, so they are located on the beaches that surround the continent. Otherwise penguins make their lives in the oceans; they do not 'live' on the Antarctic continent.
