What the track shows

Followed for 2 years and 6 months, from June 2017 to January 2020, across 672 recorded positions.

It ranged between 33°S and 71°N, crossing the equator 5 times.

The water and air it moved through ran from 5°C to 28°C.

It averaged 78.5 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 12,087 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 95% of them.
