Fictive images in memory of the penguins that probably lived in Alaska during the Miocene. When the portion of water between Antarctica and South America opened up completely (12 million years ago), penguins migrated to much more northern regions. So some species of penguins are found in coastal regions of Africa and Latin America. In 2006, fossils of a small penguin with a height of approx 30 cm were discovered near the city of Ketchikan in Alaska. Research has suggested that penguins lived in Alaska during the Miocene, when the climate in Alaska was much warmer than it is today with an average annual temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, so a suitable climate for penguins to survive. It is assumed that, due to the milder temperatures during the winter,
it is possible that during that period, the penguins migrated to Alaska. Seals in Alaska along southern coast (Kenai Peninsula). The best time to see sea seals is from May to August.
