Grey-headed albatross

Followed for 8 months, from December 2005 to August 2006, across 504 recorded positions.

It ranged between 69°S and 41°S, never leaving the southern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from 0°C to 10°C.

It averaged 140.7 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 4,217 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 89% of them.
