“Penguins of the Antarctic” on PBS, is an in-depth look at different penguin species and their means of survival. The film puts viewers atop icebergs and underwater with these extraordinary birds, explores penguins’ arduous existence and the challenges ahead for them.

Penguins are considered to be the most social of birds. Even at sea, they tend to swim and feed in groups. The birds go to incredible lengths, I learned, to find food for themselves and their babies. In the Antarctic, they withstand brutal snowstorms and frigid temperatures, and they go for months without food, all for the sake of their chicks.

NATURE “Penguins of the Antarctic” airs on PBS Sunday, November 12, 2006.
