At the edge of where sea and land met, Bo Yeyuan saw a group of emperor penguins!
They braved the chilly winds, standing in a row, forming a wall crafted by the penguins themselves—
Bo Yeyuan's eyelids couldn't stay open; he urgently needed sleep and was about to collapse.
Dragging his heavy body, he made his way into the group of penguins.
In the Antarctic, female penguins are only responsible for laying eggs, while male penguins are in charge of incubating them. During the incubation period, to fend off the cold and block the wind, many male penguins often stand side by side, forming a windbreak wall with their backs facing into the wind.
With the bulky penguins blocking the fierce winds, Bo Yeyuan felt much better.
Throughout his trek, he had carried a bear pelt tied to his feet with rope, not willing to abandon it.
And now, the stuffed bear lying on the ground provided great warmth.
