What the track shows

Followed for 5 years and 1 month, from July 2010 to August 2015, across 757 recorded positions.

It ranged between 34°S and 70°N, crossing the equator 10 times.

The water and air it moved through ran from 0°C to 18°C.

It averaged 82 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 2,155 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.
