What the track shows

Followed for 4 months, from February 1998 to May 1998, across 117 recorded positions.

It ranged between 73°S and 66°S, never leaving the southern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from -18°C to -2°C.

It averaged 62.7 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 2,436 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 53% of them.
