Penguin Awareness Day!

Are you aware that it's #PenguinAwarenessDay? Here are two Adélie Penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) which are common all along the Antarctic coast, the only place where they reside. They can't fly, but they do have feathers and can swim around 5 miles per hour (8.0 km/h). From Edwin Ray Lankester, Report on the Collections of Natural History made in the Antarctic Regions during the Voyage of the "Southern Cross." (1902). Contributed for digitization by Smithsonian Libraries ( @smithsonianlibraries ) to Biodiversity Heritage Library.

Group of adelie penguins in Hope Bay, Antarctica Peninsula. Surrounded by icy vastness, these adelie penguins demonstrate the strength and resilience found in unity. Just like them, we can achieve great things when we stand together.
