Antarctica

Life is a highway, a penguin highway.

Penguins carve our super highways between their nesting sites and the water, and boy, they are pretty darn cute waddling down the road. When they drop onto their bellies to slide, it is called tobogganing. Those round little bodies are surprisingly agile across the snow.
