I answered this a few days ago, here it is again:
While polar bears could be found close to the north pole penguins are not found near the south pole. The north pole is in the middle of the Arctic ocean which is covered in sea ice - the natural realm of the polar bear. Penguins need access to the sea and you only find that on the edge of the Antarctic continent. Penguins are southern hemisphere birds rather than south polar birds. They are found everywhere south of about 40°S; south of the tropic on the west coast of the continents as well as on the equator in the Galapagos islands. Only two penguins breed exclusively on the Antarctic continent - the emperors and the adelies. Polar bears have a much more limited range.
The original penguin was the Great Auk, a flightless northern hemisphere bird. Its range did overlap that of the polar bear so it is possible that at one time polar bears ate penguins. The bears' diet has been penguin-free since 1844 when the last great auk died.

Nope. It is not possible for Polar bears to travel to the opposite pole to feed on penguins.

No there are no Penguins where Polar bears are
Penguins are in the South pole ,they get eaten by killer whales and the babies by Albatrosses,
Polar bears are only to be found in the North Pole ,they eat seals ,fish .and if they can get it Eskimos
they are indanger of losing their home because it is melting .and it is ice floating in water ,in the sea
Not like the suoth pole ,which is a pole ontop of a continent

Seems to me that polar bears are in the north and penguins are in the south, but i could be wrong :)

I just saw this on that show...no polar bears do not feed on penguins because they live on opposite sides of the earth!!
Good Question.

The only place that polar bears would see penguins would be at the zoo... :)

Polar bears do not eat penguins. Polar bears and penguins don't even reside on the same continent.
1. Polar bears feed mainly on ringed and bearded seals. Depending upon their location, they also eat harp and hooded seals and scavenge on carcasses of beluga whales, walruses, narwhals, and bowhead whales.
2. On occasion, polar bears kill young beluga whales and walruses.
3. When other food is unavailable, polar bears eat reindeer, small rodents, seabirds, waterfowl, fish, eggs, vegetation (including kelp), berries, and human garbage

Well, gee... Let me think.... Polar bears live exclusively in the Arctic, and penguins live exclusively in the Antarctic.
Do you have any clue how far apart those two places are?

No. And if you were smart you'd know why. But, I'll tell ya anyway.
Penguins don't live in the north polar region.
