The Cold Antarctic
I just saw "March of the Penguins". In a utterly desolate and freezing landscape, the emperor penguins survive and live. Amazing! I mean, you would think that there was no way any life form could survive in such a cold climate, particularly when the winters of Antarctica come. Can you imagine winter in such a cold place???? The winds, the air, the blizzards - they're all so ferocious and harsh. Eggs freeze in an instant and crack open when exposed; people have to bundle up in 6 layers of clothing and still manage to get frostbite when out there too long. Yet it is an incredible testimony to see the emperor penguins' life in such a place - feeding, mating, watching over their eggs, watching over their young ones, until the young finally return to the sea to begin their own such rituals at a later time. Amazing. Just utterly amazing.
