What the track shows

Followed for 4 years and 8 months, from October 2021 to June 2026, across 69 recorded positions.

It ranged between 68°S and 78°N, crossing the equator 10 times.

The water and air it moved through ran from -2°C to 22°C.

It averaged 100.6 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 8,644 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 99% of them.
