The scientist says no, but he has seen ThreeWaySex among penguins as well as a prostitution arrangement in which the females copulate with males in return for rocks for their nest. Then Herzog asks if penguins ever go insane. Then we see a penguin toddling off into the depths of Antarctica to die.

All of this is paired with photography of the vast Antarctic frozen wilderness and Herzog's idiosyncratic narration.

* FauxlosophicNarration: Typical of Herzog's documentary features, in which he can go off on some pretty eccentric tangents. Like the scene where he wonders why monkeys don't ride goats.
* HiroshimaAsAUnitOfMeasure: Herzog describes the Ross Sea as "an area the size of the state of Texas."
* MysteriousAntarctica: Herzog talks about how Antarctica was the last blank spot on the map, and how there's a certain tragedy in the fact that after Amundsen and Scott made it to the South Pole, there was nowhere unknown left to explore.
* {{Narrator}}: Herzog himself, describing the scenery and telling the story, as well as going off on philosophical tangents from time to time.
* SceneryPorn: ''Good Lord''. The photography of the Antarctic landscapes is jaw-dropping, especially the underwater photography. Averted however in the case of [=McMurdo=] Station, which Herzog compares to "an ugly mining town."
* ShoutOut: A group of scientists watch ''Film/{{Them}}'' on a computer. Herzog makes a sarcastic comment about how he's not going to make a cute movie like ''Film/MarchOfThePenguins'' (he ''does'' feature penguins in his film, but in a far more disturbing context).
* StockFootage: Clips of Series/TheLoneRanger of all things when Herzog goes off on a tangent about man's desire to conquer.
