Fly Me to the Moon
The incredible migratory journey of the little Arctic tern. (Hat tip: @BoraZ.)
"New research shows that Arctic Terns are the world's champion commuters, traveling an average of 70,900 km each year.
"If you do the math, you'll find that during the average tern's lifetime of up to 34 years, they fly a remarkable 2.4 million kilometers! This is equivalent to traveling around the Earth 60 times or completing three round trips to the Moon!"
