The bird flies from its breeding grounds in the Arctic to the Antarctic in winter, then back again.

This long journey is equivalent to flying to the moon and back three times over its 30-year lifespan.

This remarkable journey is the longest migration of any animal in the world.

These birds fly in a zigzag pattern to take advantage of prevailing winds.

By migrating pole to pole, these birds get to experience two summers a year, maximising their daylight hours and feeding opportunities.

They feed by gliding over the ocean and plunging their beaks to catch small fish and other marine creatures near the surface.
