We should change Antarctica's name to Penguin Island

We should change Antarctica's name to Penguin Island

The Issue

Antarctica is a really cool name for a continent that is shared by various countries around the Earth, by scientists. However, the continent's native population is that of the Penguin. Perhaps the most impressive species living there, is the Emperor Penguin. I think an emperor surely deserves their empire to be named after them. Therefore, on behalf of all indigenous birds of The Southern-most continent, I request (no demand!) justice for the penguin community. Antarctica should really be called "Penguin Island." At least include this alternate name in parenthesis or as a sub-titles. Thank You.
