they survived, he lived. In the icy landscape of Antarctica, thousands of penguins live in a structured, cooperative society. They march to the sea to hunt, return to feed their young, and huddle for warmth. However, one lone penguin stops behaving like the others. While visiting scientists at McMurdo Station, Herzog asks a penguin expert if penguins can go insane. While the expert says they don't exactly go crazy, he acknowledges they can become disoriented and end up far from the ocean. Herzog films a single, healthy penguin that separates from its group. Instead of heading toward the ocean (safety and food), the penguin turns in the opposite direction and starts walking toward the interior of the continent a massive, desolate expanse of ice and mountains. Scientists point out that this path leads to certain death, as there is no food or way back from the mountains, which are about 70 kilometers away. It's not about winning, it's about trying.
