What the track shows

Followed for 1 year and 5 months, from July 2009 to December 2010, across 143 recorded positions.

It ranged between 35°N and 71°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from 0°C to 14°C.

It averaged 31.5 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 3,103 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 71% of them.
