What the track shows

Followed for 2 years and 3 months, from June 2009 to September 2011, across 152 recorded positions.

It ranged between 62°N and 71°N, never leaving the northern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from -7°C to 5°C.

It averaged 17.2 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 1,966 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 68% of them.
