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.
