The Real Story of the "Nihilist Penguin"
The "Nihilist Penguin" isn't famous for coming home - he's famous for walking away.

The Origin: The footage comes from Werner Herzog’s 2007 documentary Encounters at the End of the World.

While filming a colony of Adélie penguins in Antarctica, Herzog and a scientist noticed a single penguin that didn't go toward the sea to feed, nor back to the colony to breed. Instead, it turned around and began a slow, steady waddle toward the vast, frozen mountains of the interior a 70km journey into a wasteland where there is no food, no water, and certain death.

The "Death March": Herzog famously called it a "death march." He noted that even if you caught the penguin and brought it back to the group, it would simply turn around and head for the mountains again. It had "lost its way" in a deep, existential sense.
