Penguins do not live on Antarctica: it's too cold and there is no food chain.

Penguins are sea birds and make their homes in salt water. They do, however, breed on Antarctica's beaches.

Penguins are covered with a layer of blubber that contains their warmth internally. As well, their feather patterns interlace, keeping water away from their skin. These physical phenomenon allow them to survive in polar waters.

As well, remember that open sea water is generally warmer than ambient Antarctic air. This means that the animals can return to the sea to warm up.
