What the track shows

Followed for 4 years and 1 month, from May 2018 to June 2022, across 1,279 recorded positions.

It ranged between 53°N and 72°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from 2°C to 14°C.

It averaged 23.8 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 2,956 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 88% of them.
