The Arctic tern may be small, but its tiny wings are mighty. Of all migrating animals, it travels the furthest, clocking up about 44,000 miles every year. It’s not all just in a straight line, either: to avoid flying into the wind, Arctic terns fly in a zigzag route, following wind patterns. This time of year, they’re taking off from the Arctic circle and heading to Antarctica. Fly, little birds, fly!
