Light-mantled albatross

Followed for 1 year and 3 months, from December 2005 to March 2007, across 898 recorded positions.

It ranged between 74°S and 40°S, never leaving the southern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from -2°C to 13°C.

It averaged 288.3 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 6,098 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 98% of them.
