Solution
- Penguins are mainly found in the Southern Hemisphere. They evolved in the South Pole, Antarctica, and the surrounding cold regions.
- The North Pole is a frozen ocean covered with ice, whereas the South Pole is a landmass (continent) covered with ice.
- The type of land that penguins need for nesting is not available at the North Pole.
- Penguins cannot travel very long distances across the ocean, and reaching the North Pole from Antarctica is beyond their capability.
