See the king penguins huddled together as they are trapped in a blizzard

Trapped in a fierce blizzard whipped up by 100mph winds, 2,000 King Penguins huddle together for warmth on the island of South Georgia near Antarctica.

To survive in one of the most inhospitable environments on earth, the penguins share body heat to conserve energy and protect the youngest birds. They are gathering for their breeding season in January.

The movie "March of the Penguins" gave a marvelous insight into the lives of penguins. I can't think of any other animal that lives closer to the edge than the Penguin.

Niether can I, as a matter of fact how in hell did they ever chose this lifestyle of thiers? Why did they not chose to evolve in a more hospitable climate? The devotion they display and the environment they live with blows me away.
