Some animals are awe-inspiring, some make us want to cuddle them endlessly, and some are just inherently funny. Penguins are definitely the latter they re flightless little birds who look like they re permanently dressed up for a night on the town, even though they re most famous for living in one of the most inhospitable places on the planet.
Antarctica isn t just cold, it s the kind of cold that makes your insides freeze as fast as your outsides. Aurora Expeditions says the average temperature across the continent which is also one of the driest and windiest places on the planet is a terrifying -70 degrees Fahrenheit. In the winter months, it gets down to -130 degrees Fahrenheit, and the summer maxes out at a not-so-balmy 46 degrees Fahrenheit.
