Club Penguin Island (location)

:This article is about the island of Club Penguin. Not to be confused with the game of the same name.
Club Penguin Island was the area where the whole game of Club Penguin took place. The island was surrounded by two oceans, Clam Waters and Soda Seas. Penguins were the main species of the island, along with puffles, fish, crabs and other animals. They built streets, igloos, buildings, and other structures.
==History==
===Ancient Times===
The ancient history of Club Penguin Island was mentioned/seen in some parties, such as Prehistoric Party 2013, 2014 and 2016, Medieval Party 2013 and at the Museum during the Muppets World Tour.
====Prehistoric Period====
During prehistoric times, (around 65 million years ago, according to Club Penguin: Monster Beach Party), dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus, Raptor, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, and Pteranodon (actually not a dinosaur, but a pterosaur) inhabited the island, as did cave-penguins (most notably Garugg the Ugg Ugg) and Dinosaur Puffles. It was covered in dense jungle, dinosaur fossils, and dirt, with no snow, and all of the buildings were made of rock. This time period was visited in the Prehistoric Parties using the Time Trekker 3000. Locations on the island at this time included the Tree Place (modern-day Snow Forts), Stony Town (modern-day Town Center), Yum Yum (modern-day Coffee Shop), Stone Salon (modern-day Clothes Shop), Fancy Plaza (modern-day Plaza and previously known as the Dino Nests), Rocky's Pizza (modern-day Pizza Parlor), Big Water Place (modern-day Beach and Dock), Yuck Swamp, Tricera Town, Tyranno Town (modern-day Mine Shack), Hunting Spot (modern-day Forest), Ptero Town (modern-day Cove), Scary Ice (modern-day Iceberg), Volcano Entrance, and Volcano (modern-day Volcano). 
====Medieval Period====
In May 2012, Club Penguin Times stated that the island in medieval times was divided into 5 kingdoms (one of them existed in the sky). The penguins lived peacefully until a dragon rose and cursed the kingdoms and then declared himself the king. The penguins later defeated the dragon and united into one nation. That dragon was Scorn the Dragon King, meaning that he is a big part of island history.
===Present Day & Expansion===
After those events in the Mesozoic and Medieval Ages, Club Penguin Island was not very populated. The Town Center was first constructed just before the Great Blizzard of 877 AD by a tribe of snails which originally inhabited the island. When the sudden snow forced the snails to migrate to warmer lands, penguins began to populate the island more. The island became far more populated, and there was a Beta Test Party. Since then, the island has grown and changed in many ways, mostly in the form of new rooms, and rooms changing due to The Journey starting in November 2012.
In 2005, when Club Penguin began Beta Testing on August 22, the island was very small. Only the Town, Coffee Shop, Book Room, Night Club, Gift Shop, Ice Rink, Dock, Ski Village, HQ, and the Dojo were accessible. On September 12, the Snow Forts were added. The Dance Lounge was later added on the day of the Beta Test Party, September 21. On November 3, the Sport Shop opened in the Ski Village, and the Mountain opened 15 days later after the release of new Sled Racing runs. At the beginning of the Christmas Party 2005 on December 22, the Ski Lodge opened in the Ski Village next to the Sport Shop. By the end of 2005, a total of 15 rooms were accessible on the island.
In 2006, Club Penguin expanded dramatically and nearly doubled in size. On February 24, the Plaza and Pizza Parlor were opened for members and then later to non-members 3 days later. On March 17, the Pet Shop opened in the Plaza and puffles became ready for adoption. On March 29, the Iceberg was discovered and the HQ was expanded. On April 27, after the release of Find Four, the Lodge Attic opened above the Ski Lodge. A month later on May 26, penguins began excavating the underground and the Boiler Room, Cave, Mine, and the Mine Shack opened to members; then to non-members 3 days later. On June 16, the Beach opened to the left of the Dock to celebrate the start of the Summer Party. In September, after having a fund-raiser and finding a light bulb, the Lighthouse and Beacon opened at the Beach on the 22nd. By the end of 2006, a total of 27 rooms were accessible on the island.
In 2007, 3 new rooms were added to Club Penguin. In May, a couple of lost penguins discovered an uninhabited beach. After penguins found the lost map, the Forest and Cove opened to the right of the Plaza on May 18 & 25 respectively. On August 31, the Sport Shop was given a makeover to make it more sporty. In November, the tables in the Plaza were removed and the Stage opened in between the Pet Shop and Pizza Parlor on the 16th of that month. By the end of 2007, a total of 30 rooms were accessible on the island.
In 2008, 3 new rooms opened on the island. On November 3, after lightning hit the Dojo, it revealed the Dojo exterior and penguins helped to dig it out. 11 days later, Sensei revealed himself and opened the Dojo Courtyard. The Ninja Hideout was added on the 17th in conjunction with Card-Jitsu. Then a filing cabinet that led to the Command Room was added in the HQ after the debut of the EPF on the 25th. By the end of 2008, there was a total of 33 rooms.
In 2009, 2 new rooms were added. On April 1, during the April Fools' Party 2009, the Box Dimension was opened. Penguins have to access it with the aid of a Portal Box. In September, the volcano began to erupt smoke. After the volcano died down two months later, construction began in the volcano and in the Ninja Hideout. After it finished, the Fire Dojo opened to members on November 24. By the end of 2009, there was a total of 35 rooms.
2010 was a mixed year for Club Penguin. 8 new rooms were added, and 3 rooms were lost. On January 22, after the Cave Expedition, the Cave Mine and Hidden Lake opened in the Mine and March 15, the Underwater Room opened to members. On April 22, to celebrate Earth Day, penguins added a community garden to the Mine Shack, and the Recycling Plant was opened. May was a big month for Club Penguin. Herbert P. Bear destroyed the HQ, Sport Shop, and Command Room with a popcorn bomb. After the incident and the popcorn were cleaned up, these rooms were closed and removed permanently on May 25. The Stadium was also renovated, where it would host soccer during the summer months and ice hockey during the winter months according to the season in the Northern Hemisphere. Construction then began in the Ski Village and the Everyday Phoning Facility opened 2 days later where the Sport Shop was located. The EPF Command Room was also released on that day but it was still under construction. Construction completed on June 10 and VR Room opened below the Everyday Phoning Facility. On the evening of October 28, a great storm hit Club Penguin and it lasted longer than other storms, even after the Halloween Party 2010 ended. It then started to rain from November 10–15. After that, Sensei began construction in the waterfall. After the storm, the Water Dojo opened to members on the 16th. By the end of 2010, a total of 40 rooms were accessible on the island.
In 2011, there were no new rooms; however, 2 rooms were renovated. On March 8, the Pet Shop got a new look. Then on March 22, the Dance Lounge was renovated to look more like an arcade. Both rooms were renovated so that they could have a more "modern" look.
In 2012, once again there were no new rooms, however, many rooms were given serious renovation and 1 room was lost. On July 4, during the Marvel Super Hero Takeover 2012 the Book Room was changed and served as the office of the Club Penguin Times. Then on August 30, to celebrate the release of Smoothie Smash, the Coffee Shop was given a major makeover to look like a more modern coffee shop. On November 1, as a part of The Journey, the Pizza Parlor, Clothes Shop, and Dance Club were given new, modern looks. Then came the darkest time of Club Penguin. During Operation: Blackout on November 15, Herbert destroyed the Everyday Phoning Facility leaving it in rubble and completely destroyed the VR Room and it was closed permanently. On December 6, after Herbert P. Bear's defeat, the Town, Dock, Ski Village, Beach, Snow Forts, and the Plaza were given new updated looks. By the end of 2012, 39 rooms were accessible on the Club Penguin island.
In 2013, 6 rooms were added and 2 rooms were lost. At the start of the Puffle Party 2013 on March 21, the Puffle Hotel, made up of the Lobby, Spa, and Roof, opened in the Plaza, allowing penguins to pamper and play with their furry puffle friends. The Cloud Forest also opened to adopt the newly discovered Rainbow Puffle. On May 23, the Ninja Hideout was removed and the Dojo and Dojo Courtyard received renovations. The Snow Dojo was also opened for players to start training to become Snow Ninjas. Then on July 11, the Club Penguin University was opened at the Mine Shack. The Recycling Plant was removed and the Mine Shack was renovated to hold it. In September after the Teen Beach Movie Summer Jam ended, the Cove was given a new design. And, then on November 14, 2013, the Mine and Cave Mine were given new looks. By the end of 2013, 43 rooms were accessible on the Club Penguin island.
In 2014, 2 new rooms were added. The Puffle Park opened behind the Plaza and to the right of the Snow Forts. Then, on September 18, 2014, a new room called the Skatepark was added next to the School. The Ski Hill, Forest, and EPF Command Room got new designs. Then, when the Penguin Cup ended the design for the Stadium that was used during the party, was used as a permanent design. By the end of 2014, 45 rooms were accessible on the Club Penguin island.
In 2015, 2 rooms were added and 1 room was lost. In March, the Puffle Wild opened behind the Ski Lodge and the Ski Lodge and Lodge Attic were also given new designs. Then on June 4, the Mall permanently replaced the Stage. By the end of 2015, 46 rooms were accessible on the Club Penguin island.

===Future Period (4014)===
Not much is known about the future of Club Penguin Island, however, by the year 4014, Club Penguin Island has been mostly destroyed, as revealed in the Future Party. This happened presumably because of thousands of asteroids crashing down onto the island, due to the Ultimate Proto-Bot 10000's attack. The only places that are left on Club Penguin Island in the future are the Town Center, Snow Forts, Dock, and Beach. Some mountains and other areas still appear to exist in the future, however, none of these areas are populated anymore. Penguins from the future traveled back to 2014 during the Future Party and said they enjoyed seeing old things that do not exist anymore, like the Plaza, as revealed in the Club Penguin Times. In the future, the Elite Penguin Force also becomes more advanced and go on missions all over the galaxy, renamed as the Extra-Planetary Federation, with the aid of Gary 3000 and his inventions, the Robos. Their headquarters and training facility is the Space Academy, which is the Lighthouse in the future.
==Club Herbert==
On November 15, 2012, Herbert P. Bear turned the sky dark using his Solar Laser, destroyed the Everyday Phoning Facility, and captured Gary the Gadget Guy, commencing Operation: Blackout. He managed to take control of the island, and renamed it Club Herbert, ruling it from his fortress. With the sun blocked, snow buried much in snow. Herbert had an army of crabs capture any Elite Penguin Force Agents he knew of.
During the takeover, Herbert took control of the Club Penguin Times (renamed to Club Herbert Times) and listed out new rules, banning noise, parties, etc. Eventually, he was stopped when his Solar Laser was destroyed, and the captured EPF agents were rescued. The island was free from Herbert's control and became Club Penguin again by December 6.
==Characteristics==
===The Island===
thumb|The island in We Wish You a Merry WalrusThe Island mostly consists of explored areas, and there is a settlement in the coastal as well as the central parts of the island. In the north of the island, there is a Mountain Range which has lots of mountains. It starts from the Ski Hill and expands till it reaches the Cove Hill. Among the mountains, there is also a Volcano in the range. The island also has rich gems and coin collection as well as buried gold, as lots of them are mined at the Gold Mine. The island has lot of trees, and there is a tree maze located in the Wilderness. A river begins at the Waterfall in the north end of the mountain and flows until it ends in the Frozen Lake. There is also a lake located in the south of the island.
The island also had a cave which was inhabited by Herbert P. Bear until he moved to another area. The island also has lots of Underground Tunnels, which were also dug by Herbert P. Bear.
Even though this island is cold and covered in snow, the island still is fertile and it could grow crops, like the ones in the Community Garden.
===Climate===
"How do you find out the weather on top of a mountain? You climate!" - Joke from the Club Penguin Joke Book
Club Penguin Island's climate is extremely cold, and it is always covered in snow. As seen in the comic section of the website, the Club Penguin Times does not include weather reports because it is always cold. The only exception was during June 12–16, 2009, when the Adventure Party turned Club Penguin into a tropical island or in October 1–8, 2009, when Sensei said: Stay ready. Look at the mountains, and watch for changes on the wind. On October 2, 2009, it could be seen that the smoke of the Volcano suddenly went to the left because of the wind. During the Halloween Parties, the skies darken, probably due to cloud cover and a Solar Eclipse. During the time, aurora is visible. However, rumored that it was a solar Eclipse, but it does not match up as the longest eclipses last for a few hours. Also, when the skies turned fiery orange, it could be because of desert winds that get caught up in jet streams and get carried over to Club penguin.
===Inhabitants===
Several animals inhabit the island, the majority of them being penguins. Other animals include crabs, worms, jellyfish, Seastar, sharks, mullets, grey fish, yellow fish (which conform a large part of the feeding of the penguin population), clams (most notably Giant Clam off the northeast coast), corals, shrimp, squids, an octopus, a lone polar bear, giant squid, a giant puffer fish, and puffles (which have been domesticated and can be adopted as pets, though some different species of wild ones still remain in the wilderness).
====Flora====
Due to the extremely cold climate of the area, the flora of the island is limited to pine trees, seaweed, and O' Berry bushes. During summer, mostly in Adventure Parties, palm trees, ferns, bushes, cacti, fruit trees and a Snowball Eating Plant grew. After the establishment of the Community Garden, various plants like Pizza Plant grew and a tree called the Community Tree was also planted, which soon reached its peak size.
===Natural Disasters===
The island has experienced various disasters, like storms, blizzards, a flood, an earthquake etc.
