From glaciers to sea water, from sea water to glaciers, and so on, it is the life of emperor penguins.
They were born on the glacier, grew up slowly, hunted, swam, and grew up in the sea, and returned to the glacier four years later to fall in love and conceive. long journey.
Every year, on the day when the sun and the moon meet, all the emperor penguins leap from the sea to land, complete the assembly in three days, a long procession, and migrate to their birthplace, where they breed new life, long. for two months.
Every year so round trip.
The birth of a new life is threatened, not only by the survival of the fittest, but also by an adventure:
the loners on the journey are destined to be covered by white snow;
when parents exchange penguin eggs, they accidentally , it will lead to premature death of new life;
seals will attack when mother returns to the sea to search for food;
father who watches mother in the long winter may not survive the hunger and cold;
new life that has just hatched may be in the lingering winter. fell in the blizzard;
the big winged bird may one day watch from the side
...
However, with love and courage, this group of animals who insist on monogamy is in the Antarctic, this magnificent and desolate ice and snow, It has lived and reproduced for 50 million years.
For humans, everything is still very mysterious:
Why do all the emperor penguins jump out of the water on the same day every year and gather on land?
Why do they always find that glacier, the place where they were born, fell in love, and nurtured, even though the glacier is flowing freely and the land movement is erratic?
Why do mother penguins always return to the sea to replenish food one day, and just come back to the little penguins after they are born to feed new life?
Why can mother and father penguins recognize each other and each other's children among thousands of penguins, even if they are separated for a long time?
...
I don't know, maybe the thirteen months they waited in Antarctica was just the first encounter between humans and them.
The quiet and peaceful Antarctic ice and snow, the deep blue sea shrouded in the aurora, and the raging snowstorm. With such harsh living conditions and such a cruel life journey, the emperor penguins, with love and courage, have become the lifeline on that glacier.
Can you imagine? Penguins, who clumsily walk or even crawl on glaciers, are good swimmers in the sea, and they shuttle like arrows. Otherwise, preying on deep-sea fish is not a fairy tale?
Can you imagine? Male penguins fast for 115 to 125 days a year, and rely on them to protect their eggs during the long polar nights of winter; they put this new life on their feet, covered with thick feathers, and in blizzards Standing still, standing firmly, occasionally moving her body slowly; female penguins fast for 64 days a year, and each penguin loses a third of its body weight during the long gestation period.
An 80-minute documentary, but it makes people cry.
For the cruelty of survival, for the power of life;
for the power of love;
for the courage and calmness.
