Where do penguins live Arctic or Antarctic?

Emperor penguins come to their rookeries during breeding season, which are all located in places where open water will be available later in the season, when the chicks fledge, and the sea ice melts.

This means that the adults walk/ waddle/ scoot on the ice sometimes up to 70 Kms, in order to return to the rookery every year -- in July -- in austral winter -- in the dark.

Once breeding season is over and the chicks fledge, the penguins disappear: scientists still don't know where these animals spend the remainder of the year.
