ARTIC TERN

Terns live for about 30 years, and during that time they can travel more than 2.4 million kilometers. That’s the equivalent of traveling to and from the moon three or four times! It’s absolutely incredible that a bird weighing just over 100 grams manages to make a 90,000-kilometer journey every year between the Arctic and Antarctica—considered the longest migration undertaken by any animal. It sees more daylight than any other animal, because it always arrives at the poles during the summer.
