About this stone

Deep in the forests here, you can encounter many hollow trees as you waddle along. One such tree, weathered and wide at the base, stands along a popular mountain trail, its hollow trunk offering shelter to wildlife and now also a penguin stone. These natural cavities form over decades, carved by decay, insects, and the elements, creating hidden spaces perfect for this penguin treasure.
