No.

Penguins remain on the Antarctic continent only long enough to lay their eggs and raise their chicks to fledgling status -- so the chicks can shed enough down to swim and not sink, therefore becoming able to feed themselves.

Penguins sometimes build their nests from an assemblage of egg-size stones in a quasi-circle.


Once the chicks have fledged, the animals return to the sea. Where they go when they are not on the continent breeding remains a mystery -- but they do not burrow.

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.
