There are no penguins in the Arctic.
Not quite sure what you meant by that statement. The "Arctic" is a generally accepted term for Antarctica...........
If that's the case, then the Arctic, aka, Antarctica, is indeed the home of penguins.......Antarctica lies at the south pole where there are lots of penguins but no polar bears.
Polar bears, on the other hand, live at the north pole where ironically enough, there are no penguins...........
Just sayin', no offense meant........

I wonder what would happen if someone let loose 1000 penguins at Svalbard or Nunavut Islands near the North Pole.
Would any survive in five years?
To: Lorianne
The dearth of penguins in the Arctic really concerns me.

The video at the site is 10 seconds long and shows the "Arctic" not the Antarctic, but yet they show a picture of penguins. Truth is not a value Salon exemplifies.

Newsbusters ought to get a hold of this. It’s the sort of thing they expose on a daily basis. That is, if they haven’t already?

The "Arctic" is a generally accepted term for AntarcticaCalling your bluff on that one. Citations to Greenpeace or other such groups not accepted.

Best get out your globe. Artic Circle and Antarctic Circle are distinctly different and at different ends of the planet.
To: Hot Tabasco
The arctic is the region associated with the ursine constellations. Arktos means bear, you know. And those constellations are invisible from Antarctica. So your bluff has been exposed.

I notice they only show pictures where the underwater volcanoes are raising the water temperature.

According to the definition arctic is the area around the North Pole. Never heard it used for Antarctica.
Do you mean polar?

In all fairness, the original article didn’t have any pictures of Penguins. Salon reposted the article and added the photo.

I say the polar bears ate all the penguins. Not quite all of them.

Not clicking on Salon, so please tell me, did they actually claim that there are penguins in the Arctic?
