Arctic Tern | Anchorage, Alaska | June, 2011
Arctic Terns have, by far, the longest regular migration of any animal, from it’s summer breeding grounds in the Arctic and Sub-Arctic, to the oceans around the Antarctic. They will chart a meandering course to take advantage of prevailing winds and can easily travel 40,000 to 50,000 miles during a yearly migration. These birds may live to 25 or 30 years of age and will travel 1.5 million miles during their lifetime. |MC45-0324
