What the track shows

Followed for 6 months, from April 2019 to October 2019, across 153 recorded positions.

It ranged between 46°N and 60°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

Remarkably, it stayed inside a narrow thermal band the whole time, between 12°C and 17°C.

It averaged 23.5 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 933 km from its first, so the track we have is a one-way journey rather than a closed loop.
