Description
The arctic tern is one of the most determined travelers in the world. Even though it is a relatively small bird it is still able to accomplish the remarkable feat of migrating over 22,000 miles (35,000 km) each year -a distance longer than any other bird. This mileage would be accurate if it flew in a straight line to where it was migrating to and from. But since it takes a lot of excursions the distance it flies each year is even greater. In fact, the arctic tern almost never lands and is known to be in daylight more than dark because of its migration schedule. The amazing Arctic Tern survives storms to migrate every year.
