Six new female Rockhopper penguins have arrived from Sea World in Orlando at the New England Aquarium.

The new arrivals will bring the Aquarium’s penguin population to nearly 90 birds of four different penguin species.

The penguins will make their debut in the aquarium’s penguin pool Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m.

To celebrate the arrival of the new penguins, the Aquarium’s annual First Night/ school vacation week ice sculpture will be of six larger-than-lifesize rockhoppers penguins. Weather permitting, the ice sculpture will go up on Dec. 28 and will feature six rockhoppers.
