What the track shows

Followed for 11 months, from January 2016 to January 2017, across 441 recorded positions.

It ranged between 70°S and 52°S, never leaving the southern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from -12°C to 3°C.

It averaged 36.3 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 789 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 64% of them.
