What the track shows

Followed for 2 years and 9 months, from December 2009 to October 2012, across 2,038 recorded positions.

It ranged between 47°S and 30°S, never leaving the southern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from 6°C to 20°C.

It averaged 132.6 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 1,143 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.
