Penguin Run

These flightless birds breed in the winter. After a courtship of several weeks, a female emperor penguin lays one single egg then leaves! Each penguin egg's father balances it on his feet and covers it with his brood pouch, a very warm layer of feathered skin designed to keep the egg cozy. There the males stand, for about 65 days, through icy temperatures, cruel winds, and blinding storms.

As the young penguins grow, adults leave them in groups of chicks called crches while they leave to fish. There is a reason for the timing of emperor penguins' hatching. By December, when the Antarctic weather has warmed somewhat, the ice the penguins occupy begins to break up, bringing open waters closer to the nesting sites. Now the chicks are old enough to take to the seas and fish for their own food.

Because penguins do not fear humans but also enjoy keeping to themselves, they are neither friendly nor unfriendly toward humans. If humans are quiet and respectful of their space, avoiding sudden or threatening movements, penguins will let their curiosity guide them closer, allowing people to interact with them.

Arctic penguins, such as the emperor penguin of Antarctica, are at severe risk of extinction within the next 30 to 40 years. This is because they are reliant upon the cold temperatures and ice caps in the arctic, which are warming and melting as a result of climate change.

No, penguins cannot fly. While they do have wings, their bodies are too heavy for their wings to lift and support them in the air. However, their wings are perfectly suited to work like fins in the frigid waters of the arctic, making them skilled and fast swimmers.

While penguins do use their mouths to catch and eat prey, they do not have any teeth.They use their pointed beaks to hook and catch fish out of the water. They then break them down using the tiny spikes on their tongues and the roofs of their mouths.

Yes, penguins are carnivores, meaning that they eat only meat. As arctic animals, who spend more than half of their time in the water, penguins most commonly eat types of fish, squid, krill, and crustaceans.

Yes, penguins do lay eggs. Some penguin species lay two eggs at a time, while others lay only one. Once the egg has been laid, the male penguin will incubate it between his legs to keep it warm until it has hatched.

Even though penguins do not have all of the features of typical birds, as they live mostly in the water and cannot fly, they are still considered birds and not mammals. This is because they fit the biological bird classification, as they are feathered, warm-blooded, and egg-laying creatures.

My husband and I participated in a penguin encounter. It was a great experience. The whole encounter revolved around the animals (as it should). The handlers really cared about the penguins' wellbeing.

Participants in the Penguin Encounter get an exclusive and up close meeting with one of our resident African penguins. The level of interaction between the penguins and the program participants is variable and dependent upon the behavior of the individual animals, the conduct of the guests in the program, and the discretion of the animal trainers working with the penguin during the program. Our goal is to provide an engaging, interactive encounter experience for not only the guests participating, but for the penguins as well.

Among the most spectacular features of the 33,000-square-foot facility is a 326,000-gallon, 25-foot-deep aquatic area where visitors can watch as the penguins explore their habitat. An underwater gallery with a vast acrylic window and two acrylic tunnels provides breathtaking views of the birds above, around and below, and allows guests to get nose to beak with the charismatic birds!

Come face-to-feather with the all-new Penguin Encounter at Penguin Cove. Learn about our gentoo penguins and immerse yourself into the sights, sounds and temperature of their environment. Your total Penguin Encounter experience will last 30-45 minutes with 15 minutes inside Penguin Cove. For your safety and theirs, touching or feeding the penguins is not permitted.

We made polar history in 2004 at Snow Hill Island. We were the first to reach its Emperor penguin rookery, offering one of the most exclusive wildlife encounters on the planet. Our Expedition Team has the deepest experience in the industry, bringing more people on more successful Snow Hill landings than anyone else. We invite you to share in the legacy and the true spirit of the explorer; embracing the unexpected, and pursuing one of the most jaw-dropping experiences imaginable.

Like summitting a mountain from base camp, parties will set out from Ultramarine towards the emperor penguin colony. Their adventure begins with an extended helicopter transfer that will reveal a landscape of snow-capped peaks and apartment-building-sized tabular icebergs. The rookery itself is located on the sea ice off the south coast of Snow Hill Island and the landing will be as close to the penguins as possible, yet at a safe distance to avoid disturbing the birds. Upon landing, your party will walk across the ice to the fabled emperor penguin colony. The wind. The ice beneath your feet. Walking next to paths in the snow carved by penguins that came before. And then there are the incredible sounds of the penguins in the distance as you march toward one of the rarest wildlife opportunities on the planet: the colony of thousands and thousands of rarely-seen emperor penguins.

The emperor penguin colony at Snow Hill is the goal of this expedition. However, if weather or ice conditions prevent us from visiting the colony or shorten the duration of our visit, we may explore some of these other sites. Your possible landings in Antarctica will take place on the eastern side of the Peninsula, which is an extension of the Transantarctic Mountains and is the most northern stretch of Antarctic land.

Paulet Island

Located in the northwestern Weddell Sea, Paulet Island is home to a large Adlie penguin rookery. With a volcanic cone that rises 1,158 feet (353 meters), the island reminds you that this was once a very active landscape. In addition to penguins, you may be interested in visiting a historic hut built by members of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition of 1901-04. A cross marks the gravesite of crew member Ole Wennersgaard.

A dormant volcano, Brown Bluff towers 2,225 feet (678 meters) over the rookeries of Adlie and gentoo penguins, which number in the thousands. These penguins will create a symphony of background noise while you explore the bluff.

Robben Island is a hotspot for seabird biodiversity, including endangered cape cormorants, bank cormorants, and 2,900 African penguins. It lies in the middle of major shipping lanes, and the risk of oil spills to local seabirds has been well documented. You can help a team of Earthwatch scientists monitor seabirds on the island and help reduce the impact of the various threats to this fragile environment.
