You don't need to move the file, but you do need to create a directory to mount it on.

For example:
mkdir penguin
sudo mount -t iso9660 Desktop/Penguin.iso penguin -o ro,unhide,loop

The loop option is the one that does the magic.

cd /home/user/Desktop

mkdir /mnt/penguin

sudo mount -o loop Penguin.iso /mnt/penguin
