The indoor antarctic enclosure for penguins at Odense Zoo's South American theme: Oceanium. The temperature in here is constantly kept at 3 degrees celcius. Here lives king penguins, gentoo penguins and rockhopper penguins.
July 2008
This picture is only showing the land part. To the right is the deep water part. The land and water parts fill aprox 50 % of the enclosure each. As the penguins here are breeding, the land part is always filled with the gentoo penguins' rock nests.
