Penguin Webcams in Antarctica

It's shocking, but even in the extreme that is Antarctica, there are a few penguin webcams available for viewing penguins in their natural habitat!

Now, unfortunately, the reception in the Antarctic is limited at best - so mostly you will find these feeds are generally still images which are updated every so often - but you just can't match the view! 

 

O'Higgins Penguin Cam 

This is the first-ever penguin webcam from Antarctica, from O'Higgins, a German research station. The picture updates normally every 15 minutes.

This penguin cam is from Palmer Station, which is a Western Antarctic Peninsula marine biome LTER site. There are two camera's to choose from; the Palmer Station Camera and the Torgerson Island Penguin Camera - the penguin camera is only available during the penguin season, which is October through February.

San Diego Zoo Penguin Cam

Here you can catch the colony of African penguins doing their thing over at San Diego Zoo in the US - their large habitat features a 200,000-gallon pool, a cobblestone beach, nesting areas, and rockwork that mimics the granite boulders found at Boulders Beach in South Africa.

You might even spot some leopard sharks! They share the pool with the penguins - and they get along swimmingly.
