Quick Answer

The Full Story
The Arctic tern makes one of the most extraordinary journeys in nature. It migrates from Arctic breeding grounds to Antarctic waters and back again each year, covering about 70,000 kilometers, or roughly 43,000 miles, on a round trip. That means it experiences more daylight than almost any other animal over the course of a year. Its migration lets it chase summer from pole to pole.
