What the track shows

Followed for 9 months, from March 2015 to December 2015, across 542 recorded positions.

It ranged between 68°S and 56°S, never leaving the southern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from -4°C to 3°C.

It averaged 66.1 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 1,460 km from its first, so the track we have is a one-way journey rather than a closed loop.

Of the 320 species followed here, this animal covered more ground than 72% of them.
