Beginning in March, the start of winter down below, the penguins begin their seventy mile journey on foot and belly. Over the next several months, they'll have to endure unbelievable hardships and sacrifices while facing starvation, natural predators and the incredible cold that can destroy their eggs or kill their hatchings in a matter of seconds if left exposed.
Those include scenes of a bird of prey attacking penguin chicks, and a seal coming after and snagging one penguin underwater, as well as comments about and footage of adult penguins, chicks and eggs that have perished in the elements (or seem in danger of doing so). Some suspenseful music accompanies some of those scenes. There's talk of mating and a male penguin is seen starting to mount a female one, but no copulation is actually seen.
