Antarctic Peninsula
The Antarctic Peninsula is the northernmost extension of Antarctica, reaching beyond the Antarctic Circle toward South America. Shown here are Adélie penguins, which live much of their lives on the pack ice or in the waters adjoining the peninsula, returning to the land to breed.
