One giant leap for penguins
These Adélie penguins are jumping for joy because it's World Penguin Day. Or maybe they're just looking for a snack as they dive off this iceberg. Adélies live on Antarctica and nearby islands all year long, but in the fall and winter, they spend most of their time near the coast. They can dive as deep as 575 feet (175 metres) or travel as much as 185 miles (298 kilometres) to find krill, fish, and squid.
