“Mörgæsir eru sætar.”

Penguins are cute.

“Þar dvelja mörgæsirnar hina 6 vetrarmánuði og hljóta sífellt að berjast við storm og ís, er hvorttveggja hlýtur að skerða ró og ánægju fuglsins.”

The penguins stay there those 6 winter months and must continually contend with storm and ice, when both must negatively affect the tranquility and enjoyment of the bird.

“Eggin eru mjög oft ófrjó, og ef þau klekjast ekki út, leggst hin vonsvikna móðir á egg annarar mörgæsar.”

The eggs are very often infertile, and if they fail to hatch, the disappointed mother sits on the egg of another penguin.

“Skemmtilegast er að heimsækja mörgæsabyggðirnar enda eru engar mörgæsir fyrir norðan miðbaug.”

The most interesting [thing] is visiting the penguin settlements, since there are no penguins north of the equator.
