What the track shows

Followed for 1 year and 5 months, from June 2020 to November 2021, across 234 recorded positions.

It ranged between 21°N and 30°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

Remarkably, it stayed inside a narrow thermal band the whole time, between 23°C and 29°C.

It averaged 10.6 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 1,030 km from its first, so the track we have is a one-way journey rather than a closed loop.
