What the track shows

Followed for 3 years and 10 months, from September 2015 to June 2019, across 49 recorded positions.

It ranged between 42°N and 51°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from 5°C to 15°C.

It averaged 1.1 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 1,462 km from its first, so the track we have is a one-way journey rather than a closed loop.
