Emperor penguins can dive to depths of approximately 550 metres (1,800 feet). In addition, they can remain underwater nearly 22 minutes to capture krill, fish, and squid that congregate under or near the edges of ice shelves. In addition, their endurance is so great that there are reports of some individuals swimming from the Antarctic coast to Tierra del Fuego, the Falkland Islands, and even New Zealand.
