Where are emperor penguins found in the wild?

Emperor penguins are found only in Antarctica, where they breed on sea ice and coastal pack ice. They are the largest penguin species, standing up to about 1.2 meters tall. Their breeding cycle is remarkable because they endure the Antarctic winter, with males incubating eggs while temperatures can drop far below freezing. These penguins are closely adapted to one of the harshest environments on Earth.
