There are 6 eggs ready to hatch in the aquarium in Bergen.
And they've been kind enough to set up a webcam
(you need to use the [Oppdater webkamera] link to update it, though)

I did a bit of searching, and they're supposedly 'Pygoscelis papua', which would be known as Gentoo Penguins in english.
For the terminally curious, they're known as 'Bøylepingvin' or 'Eselpingvin' here in Norway. ('bøyle' = hoop, 'Esel' = donkey... )
