A pencil drawing of a lone penguin waddling away from its colony and heading straight towards distant mountains, from Encounters at the End of the World, a 2007 documentary by German filmmaker Werner Herzog.
In the scene, an Adélie penguin suddenly walks away from its colony and heads towards a distant mountain range, roughly 70 kilometres inland.
In Antarctica, penguins have only two choices: Go to the ocean to eat or stay in the colony to breed.
But one penguin stopped looked at the ocean and looked at the colony then he turned toward the mountains.
Scientists said he wasn’t lost. Even when brought back, he turned around and walked again. They called him “The Faustian Penguin.”
