What the track shows

Followed for 1 year and 7 months, from March 2012 to September 2013, across 317 recorded positions.

It ranged between 75°S and 42°S, never leaving the southern hemisphere.

The water and air it moved through ran from -9°C to 4°C.

It averaged 254.1 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 566 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.
