The '''[[Adélie penguin]]''' is a species of [[penguin]] common along the entire [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] coast, which is their only residence. They are among the most southerly distributed of all seabirds, along with the [[emperor penguin]], the south polar skua, [[Wilson's storm petrel]], the [[snow petrel]], and the [[Antarctic petrel]]. They are named after [[Adélie Land]], in turn named for Adèle Dumont D'Urville, the wife of French explorer Jules Dumont d'Urville, who discovered these penguins in 1840.
The '''[[Principality of Aigues-Mortes]]''' is a [[micronation]] created to promote and support local initiatives of the eponymous city, located in Southern France, 23km east of Montpellier. The Princely Couple (His Serene Highness, Sovereign-Prince Jean-Pierre IV and Her Serene Highness, Princess Olivia-Eugénie) work together with the citizens and the Princely Grand Council, to create and organize events that are both fun and windows of local talents and creativity.


Specifics of their behavior were documented extensively by [[Apsley Cherry-Garrard]] (a survivor of [[Robert Falcon Scott]]’s fateful final journey to the [[South Pole]]) in his book The Worst Journey in the World.
