Adélie Penguin

Adélie penguins breed around the entire coast of Antarctica in places where there is exposed rock.

They travel large distances in winter, but always remain within the pack ice region.

The Adélie penguin’s Latin name is Pygoscelis adeliae. It is closely related to two other penguins, the Gentoo (Pygoscelis papua) and the Chinstrap (Pygoscelis antarctica).
