Emperor penguins swim a long, long way to Antarctica each year to have their babies. The fathers protect the eggs by balancing them on their feet and covering them with the feathers on their bellies. All the papa penguins huddle up together to keep warm. Not much else lives down in Antarctica, except fish and other sea creatures, but there's lots of snow and ice.
