Although penguins are generally associated with extremely cold climates, only two species—the Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) and the emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri)—live on the frozen Antarctic continent. Most penguin species live in subantarctic regions (around and just north of the Antarctic Circle) or temperate regions farther north. The greatest variety of penguin species occurs in southern New Zealand, which is home to seven species, and the Falkland Islands, home to five species. Penguin populations are largest on the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula (the northernmost tip of Antarctica) and on subantarctic islands. One small species, the Galápagos penguin (Spheniscus mendiculus), lives on the Galápagos Islands just south of the equator, and several penguin species inhabit the hot, desert coastlines of South America and southern Africa. The birds living in these warmer regions rely on cold and nutrient-rich water currents to survive.

Not these days. The first bird to be called a penguin was the Great Auk, a flightless auk of the Arctic regions. It became extinct in 1844 (I think) so there are no more northern hemisphere penguins.

Only in zoos, or introduced. They're not native to Alaska, if that's what you're asking.
